The festival highlights Palestinian history and identity while encouraging discussions on social and political issues, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds to promote understanding and solidarity through the arts.

Seems like the Eye on Palestine Festival in Ghent is a jolly good excuse for 40 organizations to throw a massive party and call it culture—best bring your beret and prepare to discuss the finer points of solidarity over a lukewarm cup of coffee. ☕🎉
