kilmé talks with Bashir Bashir

Kilmé is a monthly talk series dedicated to Palestinian artists, intellectuals, and academics; a platform to present their work and speak about subjects that are important to them. Kilmé means word in Arabic. The organizers are dedicated to presenting palestinian voices in all of their diversity and creativity, thus contributing to the cultural landscape of Berlin, a city with the largest Palestinian population in Europe.

In the April issue of kilmé talks, Bashir Bashir will be the guest. The evening will be moderated by Tyme Khleifi and Michael Barenboim.
