Also of note is that the Tuesday reading will be held inside a photography exhibition entitled
Jerusalem Dispossessed.
JERUSALEM DISPOSED is an exhibition from the photographic collective ActiveStills.
It documents different aspects of the on-going expulsion of indigenous Palestinians from their native Jerusalem. A powerful and eerie series of 42 photographs moves between images of Israeli settlements, armed settler youths, uprooted Palestinian olive trees, and the Separation Wall.
On a related but different topic, recently the poet Cathy Wagner suggested I read the blog
body on the line. It is a very interesting blog written by an academic Marcy Newman who teaches at An Najah University in Nablus. Recently she posted a very interesting post about the
Academic Boycott of Israeli Universities which is worth a read. Also she also posted up videos from the
Palestine Festival Of Literature 2009 which I thought might be of interest.
