Join Fadel Jobran-Alsawayfa for a performance based on an autoethnographic research project that he is working on collaboratively with Patrick Leroux, Concordia University. The project aims at exploring how performances based on lived experience can foster understanding and provide an opportunity for meaning-making. 

Fadel will combine drama and poetry in this performance to share his personal story with oppression and injustice as a child who grew up in a country in conflict. 

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
