The struggle for liberation in Palestine and the genocide in Gaza have galvanized the world and reignited long-standing conversations around the global struggle for liberation. Join Kundiman at AWP 2026 for this special reading and conversation featuring Palestinian writers Sarah Aziza and Fargo Nissim Tbakhi, moderated by leena aboutaleb. This panel will discuss the role of writers in displaced diaspora communities, how literature can disrupt narratives of empire and colonialism, and the histories of cross-community solidarities.
