Join us for the launch of the next poetry launch of the Hands Up Project in collaboration with SOAS University. From Dust We Rise is a collection of beautifully moving poetry written by young Palestinian poets. Look forward to an evening of spoken poetry by the poets themselves, calling in from Gaza, Egypt, Qatar and Bosnia.

‘Whenever I whispered to the sea,
‘Where am I?’
the waves replied:
‘You are not here…
but do not be afraid.
The homeland dwells in poetry,
and poetry is never defeated.’
- Saleh Al Khalidi- 17 years- Gaza, Palestine
