Palestine Place
To Be Announced prior to opening (see palestineplace.wordpress.com)
2nd June - 17th June
We invite everyone to come and explore the issues, be it for the first time or to bring your experience and knowledge. Please join us in organising events, gathering equipment, assisting fundraising and most importantly come and take part in the space in whatever way you can. Contact palestineplace@riseup.net to find out more, to get involved or to inquire about running an event.
In the first two weeks of June this year one of central London’s lost and abandoned buildings will be reclaimed and transformed into a radical centre for discussion, action, and education around the issue of Palestinian rights. Palestine Place will be a squatted hub of activity from the 2nd-17th June. Expect films, discussions, music, performances, workshops, lectures and training (full programme to be released nearer the time).
