The Palestine Festival of Literature (PalFest) is a cultural initiative committed to the creation of language and ideas for dismantling colonialism in the 21st century. The festival was created as an act of cultural solidarity with Palestine by a group of international cultural figures brought together by Founding Chair, Ahdaf Soueif, in 2008. Since then PalFest has run an annual festival in which international authors combine with their Palestinian counterparts for free, public events in cities across Palestine. During the daytimes, visiting authors are taken to sites of historical and political relevance and meet with artists, authors and activists. Our hope is that the experience of visiting Palestine with PalFest expands authors' vocabulary and imagination, that they will draw connections between their own work and the various processes of control ongoing in Palestine. We work internationally to promote Palestinian voices and literature through a year-round program of live events, book publications, social media content, editorial engagement and publicity support.
