We recorded the presentation of a dear friend from the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, Abdelfattah Abusrour, PhD, known usually as Abed. Abed directs a cultural center in the Aida Camp, which goes by the name of al-Rowwad. Learn more about al-Rowwad at alrowwadusa.org. Abed has been coming to the Boston area ever since 2009, when the Cambridge Bethlehem People to People Project and Friends of al-Rowwad sponsored their theater company on a tour of the northeast, including at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge. Here is Abed speaking recently at St. Paulâs Church, near Harvard Square, at a gathering sponsored by the Friends of al-Rowwad. He named this talk "Beautiful Resistance: a Creative Vision of Hope for the Future in Palestine."
