Spoken word with Sherazade
Afternoon in The Drawing Room
Sherazade has a Psychology Health and Socialcare background.
In the summer of 2023, Sherazade travelled to Palestine and it changed her life forever.“I cannot speak of a Jerusalem fever, but I can tell you what I felt through my body was something I cannot express in words. Palestine has been etched into my soul…for me it is the beating heart of the MiddleEast”.
In October 2023, Sherazade made plans to return with the view to setting up a Street Photography project for young people in Hebron, documenting everyday life through the lens and exhibiting their work in the UK. However this was halted due to the events around 7.10.2024. She has plans to return in the foreseeable future, and begin this work.
Palestine, has been the awakening of a spiritual creativity and her works mostly reflect the synergy between the Judeo, Christian and Islamic beliefs.
At Second Saturday Sherazade will be sharing a spokenword piece on the Olive tree…translated and aptly named “Zaytoun”. As well as a contemporary piece later in the evening.

“Root yourself in the soil, for you will remain here.
The land is your land, young man, this country is our country.
They are ignorant, they do not know that your homeland is eternal.
So stand firm, persevere, and seek reward, for we are all behind you.
How many martyrs have given their lives to achieve certainty.
O owner of the land, hold fast, for the land is the honour of the righteous.”- Mahmoud Darwish
