for Justice in Palestine at UIUC is proud to announce Israeli
Apartheid Week (IAW) 2017: Culture Beyond Resistance. IAW is an
annual week of events and demonstrations with the goal of raising
consciousness on campus on the cause of Palestinian liberation.
This year's IAW, themed "Culture Beyond Resistance", will showcase
various aspects of Palestinian culture and how Palestinians around
the world work to fight against erasure and appropriation. <br>
<br>
Events and Demonstrations:<br>
<b>The mock Israeli apartheid wall will be up from 9am to 5pm
Monday through Thursday in front of the English building on the
Quad side. </b>We invite all to stop by and learn more about
the Palestinian people, their struggle for liberation<span
class="text_exposed_show">, and Israel’s propagation of
injustice and violence. <br>
<br>
<b>Monday, 4/10</b><br>
<b>12pm at the Wall—Palestinian Solidarity Rally</b><br>
This rally will center the voices of oppressed and marginalized
communities facing cultural erasure and appropriation. In
addition to centering the topic of Palestinian liberation, we
have sought to make the rally a space where members of various
communities represented on campus can detail their experiences
with and methods of resistance to cultural erasure and
appropriation.<br>
<br>
<b>6pm in Lincoln 1065: Feminism, Palestinian Liberation and
Culture</b><br>
Join us for a discussion with Dr. Maryam Kashani, assistant

Studies, on Arab/Muslim feminisms, Palestinian resistance and
liberation, and culture. <br>

<b> 6pm in Noyes 165: Film Screening—“5 Broken Cameras”</b><br>
SJP is proud to host a screening of “5 Broken Cameras”, the 2011
documentary shot from the perspective of Palestinian Emad
Burnet, chronicling the violent imposition of Israeli
settlements in his village of Bil’in. The film features first
hand representation of protests and rallies held to oppose the
establishment of illegal Israeli settlements. The film was
nominated for the 2011 Academy Award for Best Documentary. 5
Broken Cameras humanizes Palestinian resistance while also
highlighting the everyday terror associated with living under
Israel’s settler-colonial regime.<br>
<br>
Wednesday, 4/12—Day off!<br>
<br>
<b>Thursday, 4/13</b><b><br>
</b><b> 7pm at the Channing Murray Foundation—Palestinian

Come to learn more about Palestinian music, food, intellectual
history, and holy sites! Additionally, some of our members will
discuss their life and experiences of living in Palestine,
noting aspects of what it means to be Palestinian for them and
how the occupation of their land affects everyday life. <br>
