Mission Statement
The Palestine Festival of Literature (PalFest) is a cultural initiative committed to the creation of language and ideas for undoing colonialism in the 21st century.
About This Cause
The festival was created as an act of cultural solidarity with Palestine by a group of international cultural figures brought together by Founding Chair, Ahdaf Soueif, in 2008. Since then PalFest has run an annual festival in which international authors combine with their Palestinian counterparts for free, public events in cities across Palestine. During the daytimes, visiting authors are taken to sites of historical and political relevance and meet with artists, authors and activists. We work on the cultural connections between Palestine and the rest of the world: staging international events, assisting with editorial processes, organising launch events, facilitating connections between editors, agents and new writers, promoting new work however possible. We offer a bi-monthly book subscription service of the best new books on Palestine, we publish a weekly newsletter, engage actors to read literary texts and publish regular videos online from our events.
