Bethlehem Cultural Festival

“In the midst of the appalling massacres and crimes being committed every day, Bethlehem Cultural Festival has decided to cancel much of our planned programme. We are devastated by such loss of life and so it seems inappropriate to hold certain events.

BCF offers an independent platform for Palestinian artists and believes freedom of expression is crucial, particularly at this time. So our limited programme of events will, we hope, reflect this.”

Amy Abdelnoor in conversation with Dr Abdelfattah Abusrour and Dr Zahira Jaser
