As a part of the Bechdel Project's FIFE CoHo (Feminism is for Everybody Cooperative Cohort) Pilot Program, a new initiative designed to expand access to creative space while actively reimagining how artists are resourced and supported, Dancers for Palestine is hosting a fundraiser day!
Tickets are available at all price points, with 100% of proceeds going to El Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe, a Dabke dance company based in Ramallah. We hope to raise a goal of $3000 to cover their travel funds as they are coming to the city this September!
Please donate what you can to support to those who choose to share their art despite the immense challenges of living under occupation.
If you can't make any events but still want to donate, you can do so here!
