Stella Day Out is a free one-day literary festival that celebrates and promotes the outstanding contributions of women and non-binary writers to Australian literature.2025 Stella shortlisted author Samah Sabawi is joined by Fatima Measham to discuss art, activism, and storytelling that crosses borders – of place, politics, and the heart.
Dr Samah Sabawi is an award-winning Palestinian playwright, poet, scholar, and political commentator whose work weaves art and resistance into powerful expressions of identity, memory, and hope. Sabawi’s most recent book 'Cactus Pear for My Beloved: A Gaza family story' (Penguin 2024), is a searing memoire exploring love, exile, and the enduring scars of dispossession.
Samah will be in conversation with Fatima Measham, Fatima is a nature writer with a visual practice focused on environmental justice. Her essays and images deal with the incompatibilities and dualities inherent in our relationship with history.
