In Nazzal's artist talk, she shared photographs taken over the course of the last year documenting the expanding violence and dispossession occurring in the West Bank - she explained that the accelerated brutality being inflicted on Palestinians in the West Bank by the IOF is no less destructive.

Nazzal spoke movingly of the resilience of the children and adults she had met and discussed the parallels between so-called ‘Canada’’s settler colonial project and that of the Zionist Israeli state.

Initially conceived as an artist talk, in response to escalating intimidation on campus, Nazzal followed her presentation with an invitation to join her in protest against the administration’s continued attempts to suppress Palestine solidarity on campus.

Suppression which includes harassing pro-Palestine students and faculty and #ConcordiaUniversity’s ongoing normalization of Israel’s genocide and occupation by working intimately with Zionist organizations like the Azrieli Foundation.

Led by Nazzal, a group of faculty, students, artists and activists made their way to the front of the gallery where we took turns speaking out against the University’s efforts to academically and culturally whitewash the Occupation.

In what has become standard University practice, we were confronted by campus security who first tried to block our entry to the Library Building atrium and then called the SPVM where no less than 10 cop cars showed up, with multiple officers entering the building to intimidate / surveil us.
