Ontmoet Palestina presenteert: One Night in Nablus
We hebben inmiddels twee edities gehad van "a Night in Nablus" in OT301 (Amsterdam). De tweede editie had als speciale gast Daoud Nassar van de Tent of Nations in Bethlehem. We kijken terug op een mooie en leerzame avond. Er waren spoken words, over Media bias (Derk Walters), Racism and white privilege (Martijn Dekker), Religion and conflict (Janneke Stegeman) en Western policy in the Middle East (Benjamin Baars). Een fantastische Dabka performance and workshop van Dreaming of Syria volgde, waarna DJ Matrub مطروب, Lulu en DeRozan ons de hele nacht hebben laten dansen. Hieronder meer info over de sprekers en muzikanten van de avond, maar bekijk voor een sfeerimpressie vooral de foto's hieronder!
Dreaming of Syria – The aim of Dreaming of Syria was initially to show the people in the Netherlands that the refugees who are new to this country are indeed bringing a lot of talent, knowledge and a beautiful culture. Among many other events, they hosted the famous Dabka Nights in TivoliVredenburg. This evening they will give a Dabka (Arabic folk dance) performance and workshop. Yallahhh Yallahh the roof will go off!
DJ Matrub مطروب - Out of the Dutch wetlands Matrub rose as a dedication to the Syrian diaspora, playing and reproducing good music vibes played all over the Arab World, in between Casablanca and Muscat. Matrub is resident DJ at the Dabke Nights in Utrecht (NL) and played on many festivals, like Lowlands Festival.
DJ Lulu and DeRozan – Lulu joined one of our trips to Palestine. Always lightening up the vibe with her smile and craziness. This night she will create good vibes on the turntables. You might know her from festivals like Dekmantel Selectors or Strange Sounds From Beyond. Lulu will play b2b with Derozan. Derozan is known for playing experimental dance and world music with a strong focus on the slow, weird and wonderful. Immerse yourself with others in the harmony of hypnotic chants, traditional percussion styles, haunting strings and inner trance vibrations.
Derk Walters – Derk is a journalist for the Dutch newspaper NRC. For years he worked in Tel-Aviv and East-Jerusalem as a correspondent but he was forced to leave when the Israeli authorities refused to renew his visa. He wrote a book on his experiences as a journalist called “Israel zegt geen sorry meer” (Israel is no longer saying sorry).
Janneke Stegeman – Janneke studied protestant theology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In 2014, she earned a Ph.D. with her dissertation ‘Decolonizing Jeremiah: Identity, Narratives and Power in Religious Tradition’, written while living in Jerusalem. She will elaborate on the role of religion in the conflict.
Martijn Dekker – Martijn is a political anthropologist and lecturer at the University of Amsterdam / Universiteit van Amsterdam, specialized in Palestine and the Middle East. He is also active for the Dutch political party BIJ1 that strives for equality in Dutch society. As a white male, he became more aware of his privileged position while living and doing research in Israel and Palestine.

One Night in Nablus #1
In de zomer van 2017 was de eerste editie van dit feest, in OT.301 in Amsterdam. De aanleiding was de officiële oprichting van de stichting Ontmoet Palestina. Op deze manier wilden we crowdfunders en vrienden bedanken, door het positieve Palestijnse geluid te laten horen!
We namen jullie voor één avond mee naar de sferen van Nablus; een prachtige stad in het noorden van Palestina. Het bezoek aan Nablus is een van de hoogtepunten van de Ontmoet Palestina reizen. Lekker eten, shisha roken, vrienden maken en spelletjes spelen in ons favoriete Palestijnse café en dansen in de heuvels.
Het was een bijzondere avond. Met live optredens van Sasaria en Matrub, dabke instructies van Dreaming of Syria, videos uit Palestina, eten van M.OOST en meer dan 200 zeer enthousiaste bezoekers vonden wij het méér dan geslaagd. Daarom, tot de volgende keer!
