Join author Heba Hayek in a light-filled conversation with Ghaith Hilal Nassar at SOAS University of London, as we celebrate six months since the publication of Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies, a tender and magical tale about a girlhood in Gaza, Palestine.

Heba Hayek is a London-based writer born and raised in Gaza, Palestine. She completed an MFA in Creative Writing at Miami University, Ohio, and is studying for an MA in Social Anthropology at SOAS University of London, where she is working on an autoethnography about Gazan women in the US and the UK. Heba has been involved in several activist movements, including for BDS, prison abolition and demilitarisation. Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies is her first book.

Ghaith Hilal Nassar is a Palestinian agitator, designer and burnt-out activist based in London. Their current work uses mindful doodling as a ground for producing work while healing. They worked for ten years with alQaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society and were among the founders of Palestinian Queers for BDS and of Pinkwatching Israel.
