|  LAND WITHOUT SOIL, ART WITHOUT ARTWORK  |  Panel Discussion & Screening
|  Saturday June  21  |  5:30 - 7 pm
|  Innis Town Hall  |  $5 or pwyc
|
|  Is it possible to address the perceptual geopolitics of partition
using art-related habitus and skills while avoiding the pitfalls of
"picture politics?" The screening of Ilana Salama Ortar's short
documentary film, Adamut/Lands [Israel 2003, 12min, DV], and the
ensuing presentation will be the occasion to examine the veritable
use-value of art in a political framework.

|   With: Ilana Salama Ortar & Stephen Wright
|   Facilitator: Sara Matthews
|______________________
|  MEETING GROUNDS  |  Public Forum
|  Sunday June 22  |  3 - 6 pm
|  Innis Town Hall  |  Free event
|
|  This forum constitutes a moment to think through, substantiate and
enable the actualisation of new parameters for peace in
Palestine-Israel. The artist, curators and activists on this panel
will reflect on their own work in relation to the questions with
which we began our project. A just and viable peace requires a
commitment to co-labouring across divides. Our contention is that
such a co-labouring necessitates ethically responsible practices of
solidarity. We envision this moment as an opportunity to work through
these issues critically.
|
|  With: Shahrzad Arshadi, Michel Khleifi, Steven Loft, Galia Shapira
|  Eyal Sivan, Badea Warwar, Stephen Wright and
|  Artist Emergency Response.
|  Moderators: Hanadi Loubani & Elena Basile

|  Tuesday June 24  |  7 - 10 pm
|  Room 4-422, OISE, 252 Bloor St. W.  |  Free event
|
| In this panel, the feminist Dialogue group composed by Women for
Palestine (WFP) and the Jewish Women's Committee to End the
Occupation (JWCEO) will focus on the U.S. proposed Road Map.
Panelists will engage in difficult topics such a Zionism,
anti-semitism, colonialism, Indigenous people's rights, and the
Palestinian refugees' right to return, committing to the imperative
of negotiating not in spite of difference, but precisely because of
it.
|
|  With:
|  Hanadi Loubani & Shadi Eskandani (WFP)
|  Rachel Gorman & Sue Goldstein (JWCEO)
|  Facilitator: Gita Hashemi
