Washington D.C. Chapter
Public Talk
In June 2024, I gave a public talk for Afikra Washington D.C. focused on my village, Battir, located between Jaffa and Jerusalem, and its survival during the 1948 Nakba. The talk examined oral history surrounding Hassan Mustafa, a local legend, as well as Battir’s agricultural traditions, historic railway infrastructure, and the village’s ongoing practices of land-based resistance, including its ancient irrigation systems and collective stewardship.
