In August 2025 we held a fundraiser reading for people and campaigns in Gaza. It was a beautiful evening, filled with love and poetry. Each poet shared a poem by a Palestinian poet and one of their own works.

We are now developing this into an online reading series and want to open it up to a range of different contributors. If you are interested in reading out loud any texts by Palestinian poets/authors, please contact us here or on social media.

We especially welcome Palestinian readers, and we encourage you to share this invitation with others who may wish to take part.  

In addition to readings, we would love to include music and visual art, making the series as vibrant and diverse as possible. 

Every evening will run for around 60 minutes, with individual contributions limited to 5 minutes. The events will take place on zoom.
