Join AAPF & Donkeysaddle Projects for a Performance-Reading of “There Is A Field”.

Sunday May 21st, 3-5pm

Verso Books (20 Jay St, Suite 1010, Brooklyn, NY)

Suggested donation: $10

This documentary-style play by Jen Marlowe tells the true story of Aseel Asleh, a Palestinian teen who was killed by Israeli police, and his family’s struggle for justice. Performed by NYC activists and organizers in the Movement for Black Lives, immigrant rights, Latinx organizers, anti-police brutality activists, and more, the play hits home in more ways than one. 

The performance (which is the culminating event of a 4-day artistic residency) will be followed by a post-play discussion with the performers about intersectional solidarity. Optional workshop to follow.

We hope you will join us!

Performers include: Aidge Patterson, Betty Yu, Cherrell Brown, Darius Gordon, Edna Bonhomme, Imani Henry, Izzaddine Mustafa, Jane Ledesma, Linda Tigani, Marquis Jenkins, Nadya Tannous, Natalie Jeffers, Rebekah Tarin, Serena Rascon, Umaara Elliott

Directed by: Leila Buck and Abby Dobson

Existence is Resistance and The Palestinian Youth Movement NY (PYM-NY) present “Portraits for Palestine” where we are asking all of our friends, family, comrades and supporters to come out Wednesday May 24th to Times Square to show solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters in the hopes that it will boost their moral to continue their struggle for freedom. Palestinian political prisoners have been on hunger strike for over 30 days and the world is silent.

Please NOTE the following:

– We are asking all that own a Thawb/Palestinian emroidered dress or shirt to please wear it. All others if you can wear black and/or Red we would appreciate it for visuals.

– We will be out there asking as many people as we can to do the salt water challenge and/or take a photo with a poster supporting the Dignity Strikers and Freedom for the prisoners

– We will have fliers for people that will have the basic info on the strikers/prisoners and the Nakba

Please RSVP if you are coming and please share widely.
