Come and join us for a sharing session - we will tell you about our experience of organising cultural resistance in support of Palestine in Leipzig, and we are eager to hear from you.
We are members of Artists for Cultural Freedom Leipzig. We formed after the Euro-Scene festival succumbed to pressure from Leipzig Stadt and the Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft, Kultur und Tourismus to cancel a theater performance by Palestinian artist Ahmed Tobasi in 2024. Our community organised to bring the performance to Leipzig and stage it independently in 2025.

Bring your experiences to share! We will talk about how we organise, how we keep the scope of our activities manageable, and how small wins keep us going, then hand over to you. Tell us about your community, your events, your achievements and your plans for fighting censorship and exclusion.
Depending how many people come, we may split into smaller groups for ease of communication.
