Since 1967, when the Palestinian flag was criminalised, the humble watermelon has served as a powerful symbol of sumud (steadfastness) and creative defiance.
Join the Saddleworth Palestine Women’s Scholarship Fund (SPWSF) to weave this history into art. Learn a new skill, enjoy good conversation, and help raise vital funds for Palestinian women’s education.
