Acclaimed Palestinian-American and Jewish-American playwrights and performers Najla Said and Judith Sloan present a new work in-progress Imperfect Allies: Children of Opposite Sides. The performance explores Najla and Judith’s relationship as colleagues and friends, using tools of art, diplomacy, and listening in order to work for justice and peace and an end to the carnage in Gaza.

 Najla and Judith join award-winning author/designer Warren Lehrer in his multimedia presentation of two new book projects. Jericho’s Daughter is Lehrer’s anti-war, feminist reimagining of the biblical tale of Rahab, the Canaanite “harlot” who lived in a mud hut inside the outer brick wall of Jericho. Riveted in the Word is an electronic book based on the true story of a historian’s hard-fought battle  to regain language after a massive stroke.

Interview on WERU radio coming soon.
