During last year’s event visitors had the chance to explore a diverse range of topics, from delving into timeless classics like Hayy bin Yaqdhan to discussing the profound impact of digital publishing, archiving, and the role of storytelling in education. This year the focus will be on poetry and art as activism, stories from Gaza and the refugee experience with a special exhibition, “Stories from Gaza”. The exhibition will highlight Palestinian voices from the Gaza Complex in Qatar and their personal and collective experiences, memories, and reflections through the power of art.

More information about the Symposium and Exhibition will be posted soon.
