Susan Abulhawa

We will be speaking about Palestine and the world today with Susan Abulhawa, an internationally acclaimed author and writer of Jutra v Dženinu (Cankarjeva založba, 2023; translated by Lili Potpara), which has been repeatedly sold out and reprinted in its Slovenian edition.

The conversation will explore ongoing colonial oppression and exploitation, why literature can be more powerful than ethnonationalist hatred, and what it means to organize a literary festival of Palestinian voices and stories in the United States.

Susan Abulhawa will be in conversation with Urška Breznik from Pekarna Magdalenske mreže.

The event is co-organized by Pekarna Magdalenske mreže, Puppet theatre Maribor, Maribor Public Library, and Cankarjeva založba.
