Muslim Collective invites you to our 4th Annual Interfaith Climate-Conscious Iftar.
This year we will focus on Palestine, exploring the impact of war and apartheid on people, climate and nature. We are putting together an exhibition at the church to explore the themes of war, climate change, and the occupation of Palestine.
We invite poets to contribute works on the theme of climate change, nature and the ongoing war on/occupation of Palestine for a printed poster exhibition. This exhibition will be displayed at the Pitt St Uniting Church during our iftar, and we are exploring the possibilities of touring the exhibition. Each poem will be displayed as part of a diptych alongside a poster with facts on an aspect of the theme.
If this topic is new to you, we still encourage you to submit a poem for consideration. Below are some resources to help you get an overview of this specific aspect of the occupation of Palestine.
