Nai Barghouti

Unheard. The award-winning singer, composer and flutist has become one of the most distinguishable vocalists of a new generation of Palestinian and Arab artists.

Unheard: An evening of grief and hope … For those whose voices are unheard, whose faces are unseen, who are reduced to numbers, and whose very existence is erased from “the narrative” They are not numbers. They have faces, names and voices. They had dreams that have now come to an end. They are loved and cherished by many who will forever miss them.

For all of those, particularly for the children of Gaza, we dedicate this evening of grief and hope. We grieve the beautiful souls of those we’ve lost, and we hope for justice, for freedom, for dignity, for real peace for those who are still surviving, still seeking safety, and still dreaming despite the overwhelming, unspeakable horror. My voice is but an echo of yours.
