Collective Memory, Documentation, and Resistance with Noor Hindi
In this workshop led by poet Noor Hindi, we’ll be exploring poems from the Palestinian poetry anthology Heaven Looks Like Us, which Noor co-edited, and reading poems that explore themes of homeland, grief and joy, and silence and testimony. We’ll discuss how poets transform lived experiences through art that challenges erasure and opens space for imagining new futures. Participants will be guided through generative writing prompts to create new work in conversation with the anthology.
