With Hala Hanina, Haia Mohammed & Xananine Calvillo

What has it been like to live through the genocide in Gaza?
What has it been like to watch from a distance as your family are trapped there?

Haia Mohammed (pictured) talked of her experiences in Gaza and shared some of her poetry and prose before reflecting on the role that poetry has played in Gaza during the genocide.

Hala Hanina reflected on her work as a journalist reporting on Gaza — where over 260 colleagues have been killed — and on her research on women’s rights and empowerment in Gaza. They also talked about the situation in Gaza now and how the genocide has not ended.

We were delighted that Xananine Calvillo from the Amos Climate Fellowship was also able to join us to ask Haia and Hala about women’s rights in Gaza and the environmental impact of the genocide.

Haia, Hala and  Xananine were in conversation with Amos’ Chris Rose.

From Cairo to Gaza: Palestine Music Expo (PMX)
With Ahmed Saqer & Sarah Williams

Palestine Music Expo (PMX) has been supporting Palestinian musicians since 2017. Since that time they have:

— presented over 80 artists internationally
— facilitated more than 15 tours
— helped secure five major record deals
— connected more than 150 global music industry delegates with Palestinian talent
— organised five festivals in Gaza for 18,000 children and their families, creating real moments of joy under siege.

When war began in October 2023, PMX became more than a showcase — it became a lifeline. 

Our webinar started by looking back on the music scene in Gaza before October 2023 and the work of PMX there before focusing on the situation faced by those who escaped to Egypt from Gaza during the genocide: the difficulties and challenges they face, the massive uncertainty over what tomorrow holds and the work Ahmed set up with musicians and community groups.

We then discussed the hopes and aspirations for PMX and the importance of supporting and promoting the Palestine music scene. With Ahmed Saqer (pictured) and Sarah Williams from PMX.
