The murder of Juliano Mer-Khamis has been met with shock and disbelief by all who knew him and his work. The son of a Jewish mother and a Palestinian father, Juliano is best known for his work with the children of Jenin refugee camp and for his cultural resistance activism, particularly with the Freedom Theatre he co-founded.
On the evening of Wednesday 20th April, we will meet in London to hear more about his life and activities, to remember him, and to think of ways of continuing his work.

Terry Duffy’s confrontational painting of a Crucifix will hang above the altar at St Martin-in-the-Fields during Passion and Holy Week. This 4.2 meter high cross is on a global journey highlighting the lives of victims of violence whose suffering cries out for redress. Each day different speakers will speak of their own experiences of violence. From the war in Afghanistan, or Gaza, to the anguish of mental illness, to the pain of the loss of a son through homicide in this country, this programme confronts us with the reality of the cross today. What does Christ’s cross mean for us?
Caabu on behalf of Al Fakhoora is running a one day event for 11-18 year olds, giving them the opportunity to work with professional artists at a central London location.
