On 8 December 2020, we welcomed Itab Azzam, co-director of We are not Princesses, for a Q&A about this engaging and woefully accurate documentary that follows four Syrian refugee women take part in a creative theatre workshop whilst in a refugee camp in Beirut. It was a highly engaging discussion with Itab.
On 6 December 2020, and as part of Celebrating Syria Festival , we were joined by 5 amazing Cartoonists whose work is admired all over the globe to launch the exhibition of “Cartooning Syria... And the Rest of the World”.
Oud Time with Rihab was the 2nd event of Celebrating Syria Festival 2020. The event took place on 5 December 2020.

On 5 December 2020, we kick started our Celebrating Syria 2020 festival with the Kiwan Family, from their living room! From their cosy living room in London, they performed a selection of modern and traditional songs from the Syrian and Levantine heritage.
