Meshwar Mixtapes: Take Me to Palestine

Rather than a lecture or performance, the session creates a quiet, welcoming space to sit together and listen closely. Through music that holds stories of home, loss, love, resilience, and survival, participants are invited to encounter Palestine beyond headlines and simplified narratives. Instead, Palestine is depicted as a lived human experience shaped by memory, culture, and care for place.

In connection with Spore’s focus on cultural exchange and learning, the session offers space for reflection on how music and storytelling sustain memory, nurture connection, and help communities hold onto what matters across distance and time. After the journey, audiences are invited to stay for an informal conversation.

Open to all adults, the event welcomes anyone curious to learn through culture and sound. No prior knowledge is needed, only a willingness to listen with openness and empathy.

Meshwar Mixtapes – Listening Journeys is an intimate session series exploring music, memory, and storytelling from across the Global South. Each journey is guided by a host connected to the featured place, weaving personal narratives with translated lyrics, cultural context, and archival visuals to create a collective listening experience. Neither a concert nor a talk, Meshwar Mixtapes invites audiences to slow down, sit together, and encounter stories carried through sound – beyond borders, headlines, and stereotypes. Rooted in diaspora and community, the platform creates space for connection, reflection, and shared cultural memory.
