Participants will engage in hands-on panel presentation on intersectional organizing in Arab women's spaces in both Chicago and Detroit. This panel will explore how art has been used to support mobilization for issues ranging from Arab-Black solidarity, to The Rasmea Odeh Defense Network. The Z Collective of Greater Detroit, Chicago-based Palestinian artist and activist, Leila Abdelrazeq, who recently had her first graphic novel, "Baddawi", published, as well as pioneering Arab-American feminist scholar Nadine Naber who has organized extensively in both Chicago and Detroit, will present on the power of writing and art in reclaiming the narratives of their communities.
