'Free Palestine, said the birds'

Join Fatima Lahham for a concert inspired by a line from Danez Smith's 'Poem': Free Palestine/said the birds. Moving across free improvisation, songs, and poetry, Fatima’s musical language draws inspiration from baroque music, Arabic music, and birdsong.

The show will open with a short set of poetry and visual projections.

Before the concert, Fatima will facilitate a sound and improvisation workshop where participants will be invited to take inspiration from birds as a way to be together in sonic community. The workshop will invite you into a series of prompts for singing, sounding, and free writing. Everyone is welcome at the workshop, and if you sign up you will receive a seperate email with more information.

All proceeds from this event will go to our friends and families in Gaza, Palestine, via . You will have the opportunity to learn more about this initiative on the evening, as well as to buy a small range of prints and artworks sold by local artists in support.

Thank you to Anna Onni for the poster artwork and to Shai Space for their generosity.
