What: Author interview: Samah Sawabi
When: friday 7.3. at 15.00
Where: Central library Oodi, 3rd floor, Saarikoski-matto

Join us for a discussion of memory, history and colonialism between the author, playwright and poet Samah Sabawi from Palestine and Anaïs Duong-Pedica, teacher and researcher from Kanaky/New Caledonia. The event is organised in the central library Oodi (Töölönlahdenkatu 4, Helsinki), 3rd floor, Saarikoski-matto.

Samah Sabawi is originally from Gaza and now lives in Australia. Her new book, Cactus Pear for my Beloved, is a memoir of her family over the past 100 years. It has been described as “a magic lantern and an elegant mosaic and a reclaiming and a reassertion of memory and history”.

The book was born out of Samah’s PhD research into memory in the context of generational trauma and exile. She last visited Gaza in July 2023, and much of the landscape described in the book has now been turned to scorched earth.

Yet, her book is a story of optimism, and belief in the strength of art, family and community.

The event is organised by Sumud – The Finnish Palestine Network. The discussion will be held in English.

Join us in the next session on Thursday 20.3 to learn about the different types of the Palestinian resistance.

📚 WHAT? Facilitated co-learning session with learning materials varying from easy to approach – more time and dedication demanding.

📍 WHERE? Meeting in Porthania lobby 17:45, Yliopistonkatu 3, 00100 Helsinki

❣️ FOR WHO? Freshmen, students and faculty, SfP friends and members, anyone interested in genuine anti-zionist learning

✏️ HOW to participate? Ideally familiarize yourself in advance with at least one of the materials listed below and join us at Porthania on Thursday. If you don’t have a chance to prepare but would like to take part, you are still welcome. List of materials from link in bio!

🔻 Please note: While this is a co-learning session to advance understanding, ability to discuss and political consciousness on anti-zionism, this is also a counter-event for a lecture hosted by a zionist organization at Porthania the same time, which means there most likely will be zionists in the building at the same time. For this session, we are planning to hold the circle in Porthania lobby, so please be aware that contact with zionists is possible. As organizers, we are doing our best to prepare accordingly for de-escalation and wellbeing. Join us to learn together and host an anti-zionist space on Thursday!

What time: 17.00
Where: In front of Embassy of the United States, Itäinen Puistotie 14 B, 00140 Helsinki
Organisers: Workers’ Anti-Militarists (Työväen antimilitaristit ry)
Social media link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1872460496627525/
Additional Information:
The Palestinian resistance fighting against the Israeli genocide has issued a call to blockade US embassies around the world on Friday, April 25, to stop the aggression and massacres in Gaza, which are being carried out with US money and weapons.
Israel has killed an average of 70 Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months. This would not have been possible without direct political, economic and military support from the US.
The current US President Trump has also proposed the transfer of Palestinians from their land and the US takeover of Gaza in cooperation with Israel. These plans would be a continuation of Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing. The US has no right to take ownership of Gaza.
Come show your support for the Palestinian struggle for freedom and protest the US role in the genocide. The address of the US Embassy in Helsinki is Itäinen Puistotie 14. We will gather there on April 25th at 5 pm.
The rally is organized by the Työväen antimilitaristit ry (Workers’ Anti-Militarists). Palestinian flags and symbols of labor organizations are welcome at the event.

WHAT: Demonstration against arms trade between israel and Finland
WHEN: Wednesday 28.5.
WHAT TIME: 12.30

The Justice Not Arms is a Sumud – Suomen Palestiina-verkosto ry’s campaign, which aims to raise public awareness of the arms trade between Finland and Israel and call for an end to all military cooperation between the states. By buying weapons from companies connected to the state of Israel, Finland finances the genocide in Gaza, the killing of civilians in Lebanon, the decades-long occupation and the maintenance of settlements declared illegal by the UN.

The Citizen’s initiative to regulate defence procurements will be submitted to the Parliament on Wednesday. Come and show your support to the initiative!
