In this sixth event of Palestine in Focus, we focus on the workplace. Because although it is hard to realise: our lives and work are hugely entangled with the colonisation of Palestine and the violence against Palestinians. Therefore, this afternoon you will get all the information you need to know about how your pension and laptop contribute to occupation and colonisation, and what you can do about it.
In the fifth part of the Palestine in Focus series, we explore several organisations, groups and initiatives working on the Palestinian cause. These organisations are placed in a larger context of (Dutch) activism for Palestine.
Kites are the ultimate symbol of freedom. About 25 years ago artist Rienke Enghardt started to use kites in the global Hope Box (HBX) art campaigns. Their kites have been active all over the world from Gaza City to Havana and from Hanoi to Johannesburg to continue to strengthen and spread the message of freedom.
“What is beautiful about Gaza is that our voices do not reach it. Nothing distracts it; nothing takes its fist away from the enemy’s face. Not the forms of the Palestinian state we will establish whether on the eastern side of the moon, or the western side of Mars when it is explored.
Iedereen is welkom om langs te komen op onze zomervriendenmiddag, op 6 juni. Deze valt midden in de klimaatweek van het Humanities Cluster, waar ook het IISG onder valt.

This year, Görkem Akgöz published In the Shadow of War and Empire. Industrialisation, Nation-Building, and Working-Class Politics in Turkey in open access.

“They make death, and I am the labour of life”. These are the words of Palestinian political prisoner Walid Daqqa (1961-2024), written in the voice of his unborn child, Milad, who was conceived of sperm smuggled from Ayalon prison. Daqqa's statement is an insistence on life, and the labour that makes it possible, in the face of the death-making worlds of Israeli settler colonialism.
