Writers Against the War on Gaza and Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art invite the voices of Avram Finkelstein, Ariel Goldberg, Nicki Kattoura, and moderators Shiv Kotecha and Hussein Omar, to participate in a variation of Lois Weaver’s experimental Long Table format, repurposing the private form of a dinner party as a structure for public conversation and engagement. We invite audience members to take a seat at the table and join us for this dialog. In the first iteration of RQRP, invited scholars, artists, and thinkers engaged in a dialog with audiences to discuss the parallels and discontinuities between gay histories and the struggle to liberate Palestine. This June, we continue our discussion, with a focus on the enduring tactics, strategies, and interventions of activist movements such as ACT UP, and how these legacies speak to contemporary resistance and solidarity movements in the ongoing struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Attending to questions of urban displacement, gentrification, and other rubrics of “security” sanctioned by the state, observed by academic and cultural institutions, and abetted by the machinations of news media, we will examine the role arts institutions can play in responding to the efforts of liberatory movements in real-time, and as they work to cement these narratives into history. Reclaiming Queerness, Reclaiming Palestine is a two-part conversation series that brings together historians, anthropologists, artists, activists, and critics to discuss a shared lexicon of reclamation, as it relates to queer histories and to the struggle for Palestinian liberation. In the former case, queer activists have long recognized the possibility of reclaiming epithets like queer or f*gg*t, as powerful tools for self-affirmation. In the latter, the project of reclamation is at the heart of the struggle for Palestinian liberation as the Right to Return. Both work against homonationalist and ethnocratic regimes that aim to annihilate life in the present in order to impose mythic versions of the past. In so doing, they share a commitment to remaking the world as it ought to be. About WAWOG Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) is an ad hoc coalition committed to solidarity and the horizon of liberation for the Palestinian people. Drawing together writers, editors, and other culture workers, WAWOG hopes to provide ongoing infrastructure for cultural organizing in response to the war. This project is modeled on American Writers Against the Vietnam War, an organization founded in 1965.
