Dear friend,
This is a reminder of three events taking place during this coming week to which you are most welcome:
Fabric of War Exhibition
Tuesday 5th October to Wednesday 1st December
This is an exhibition of special paper created by 20 Palestinian and Israeli members of the women’s group within the Bereaved Families Forum. They spent two days making paper out of materials connected with the conflict to create artworks while sharing their personal stories of the loss of loved ones. The exhibition can be viewed at the Saison Poetry Library, Level 5 at Royal Festival Hall, Tuesday-Sunday 11am-8pm and also at the library of the Courtauld Institute (Somerset House), Monday-Friday 9.30am-5.30pm. For a special event, see below.

Members of the Forum, Seham Abu Awwad who participated in the project, as well as Robi Damelin and Ali Abu Awwad who are in London to receive the Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award at the House of Lord, will talk about the art project and the work and vision of reconciliation of the Bereaved Families Forum.
