We Were Playing in the Clouds – An Evening in Solidarity with Palestine
I wish children didn’t die.
I wish they would be temporarily elevated
to the skies until the war ends.
I wish they would be temporarily elevated
to the skies until the war ends.
Then they would return home safe,
and when their parents would ask them,
where were you? They would say,
we were playing in the clouds.

– Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972)
Welcome to Oceanen for an evening in solidarity with Palestine!
During the evening, readings of literature from the Palestinian diaspora will be interspersed with an art auction, a book table with Mare Litteratur and a raffle with great prizes. The art pieces that are going to be auctioned out will be presented on social media in advance. All proceeds will go to the Palestinagrupperna's fundraiser.

Accessibility
The Cultural Center Oceanen is a Q-marked culturally historical building, which is challenging when it comes to accessibility. We do our best to have as many people as possible visit us. When visiting us with mobility aids the best-suited entrance is through the stage. This entrance is accessed via Gathenhielmska trädgården. The entrance is locked, please email us the day before your visit or the latest Friday at 16:00 if you are visiting us during the weekend. We have a wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Please note that flashing lights may occur during concerts and events. For questions regarding accessibility email Mia Herman at mia@oceanen.com.
