if you live in NYC

Here is something I got from 16beaver from NYC:

what: Presentation / Discussion
When: Friday evening 4.13.07
Where: 16Beaver Street, 4th Floor
When: 7:30 pm
Who: Free and open to all

We are very pleased to have photographer
Deborah Bright and Israeli-American writer
and scholar, Linda Dittmar, at 16beaver.
Deborah and Linda will present an informal slide preview
of their collaborative project documenting remains
of the 1948 Nakba (Catastrophe)
when some 750,000 Palestinians were exiled
from their homes in what became the State of Israel.

We hope you can join us for what promises
to be a thought-provoking evening.

2. about the project

This work is predicated on the belief that until
the pain and losses (of family,community, homeland)
of the Palestinian Arabs in 1948 (not to mention 1967)
are publicly recognized and dealt with by both Israel
and its primary sponsor, the United States,
no lasting peace and stability is possible.
