SUMMARY:Queering Palestinian Literature with Raji Bathish (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Palestinian author and cinema critic Raji Bathish comes to the Bureau to read from his genre-hopping texts that combine fiction\, poetry and other forms\, followed by a discussion with his translator Suneela Mubayi and Rutgers literature professor Ben Koerber in a far-ranging dialogue that will touch on language\, translation\, gender and sexuality\, what it means to be a Palestinian artist amidst an ongoing genocide\, and to approach Palestine as a fundamentally queer cause. \n\n\nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \n\n  \nRather than soliciting donations for the Bureau\, we will collect donations on behalf of Gaza Mutual Aid Solidarity. In their own words: \n“We are volunteers with loved ones in Gaza. We give direct mutual aid to displaced & distressed families to meet their basic needs during these catastrophic times. Our main focus has been supporting multiple teams of our family members in providing clean water\, food\, tents\, clothing\, and direct cash to families in Gaza. We have also supplied clay ovens\, repaired a sewer system\, installed a water well\, supported a revived school\, and funded medical workers and civil defense crews. We are so grateful for the generous community support we have that has enabled us to continue to support these projects. Please keep pushing to stop the genocide\, build community and organize to Free Palestine 🇵🇸” \nDonate via GiveButter: https://givebutter.com/GazaSolidarity \nor donate via GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-gz \n  \n  \n\n
