Exile Remembered, an evening of music, poetry and reflection
By Mary Rizzo • May 8th, 2008 at 20:12 • Category: Culture and Heritage, Music, Poetry, Events, Palestine
The 60th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel is for some a day of celebration, for others a day of reflection. For Palestinians it marks the nakba (catastrophe) - when 400 villages were destroyed and 750,000 refugees fled to the West Bank, Gaza Strip and beyond.
Trócaire and Poetry Ireland invite you to join world renowned soprano Judith Mok, celebrated author Seamus Cashman and emerging poet Keelin Barry and others for an evening of music and poetry exploring themes of home, displacement and self-determination.
When: Thursday May 15, 6.30-8.00pm
Where: Unitarian Church, St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin
Admission Free

Thank you,
Ciara Gaynor, Alice Mary Higgins & Lawrence McBride,
