Sawt Al Niswa is proud to launch the Palestine Fairies Project*, an initiative to host the voices of Palestinian women living in Palestine, in exile, and other emerging voices that narrate the stories of Palestine and womanhood. The project is a process of understanding the Palestinian struggle as one of the most fundamental struggles towards liberation, and how it reflects on women, in particular, in their process of emancipation. The project comes to underline Palestinian liberation as literal and metaphorical used to construct examples about collective emancipation as a gateway to all forms of freedom.
As such, the Palestine Fairies Project represents a series of reflections on Palestine and Palestinian women engaged in social and political struggles.
Sawt Al Niswa invites all the voices from Palestine and the globe to construct a narration of Palestine and womanhood by submitting articles and creative contributions of their own perspective of Palestine, womanhood, the Nakba, occupation and exile.
*Fairy, used in the title of our project, means a small imaginary being of human form that has magical powers, esp. a female one.
Call for Submissions:
Sawt Al Niswa is launching a new page that seeks to explore the intersections between Palestine and Womanhood. We’re looking for all sorts of submissions, written and otherwise ( film, poetry, photography, and music etc.), to express your reflections and experiences in this area.
There are a lot of different angles that you can approach this from; we’re looking to add more richness to the subject of Palestine Woman-ness by collecting a diversity of ideas, approaches and artistic interpretations. Some ideas for topics include: Palestinian Women Oral History, BDS and feminism, Women and Resistance… there are plenty of interesting and unique ideas in our heads about this subject, because all of us here in one way or another have experienced it in intense ways. We just need to develop these ideas so that others can see, hear or read them and we can make some fairies magic ;)
Writings can be submitted in Arabic, English or French.
Submissions should be sent to tamara@sawtalniswa.com or editor@sawtalniswa.com. Please drop us an email if you’d like to have a conversation about this. Perhaps you have some thoughts as to how we should go about the project, feel something tickling in your gut when you hear about these two issues being patched together and you want to talk about it, questions about submissions etc
