What happens to the culture of Gaza as its buildings, heritage and lives are destroyed? Survivors keep their heritage alive through literature, music, memories and storytelling. Mahmoud Muna, a bookseller from Jerusalem, and Matthew Teller, a UK-based Middle East correspondent, recorded these life stories in their recently released book Daybreak in Gaza: Stories of Palestinian Lives and Culture (Saqi Books 2024).

Join CWTS, CADS, Leiden Scholars for Palestine and the editors of the book Mahmoud Muna and Matthew Teller in a conversation on Gaza’s history and cultural landscape through experiences of everyday Palestinians. After a presentation and discussion, there is the availability to buy the book and have them signed by the editors.
