George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine
Brunch + Vernissage + Talk
Processions of the Sun kicks off with a late morning Brunch at De Expeditie followed by the Vernissage of George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine. Curated by Tufts University’s English and Africana studies professor Greg Thomas, the exhibition highlights the historic and continuing kinship between the Palestinian and Black American prisoners’ movements. It features international book covers, woodcuts, paintings, political posters and other works tied to Jackson’s life and the US prisoners movement. Greg Thomas will join us to introduce and reflect on an exhibition that points to a common language shared by Black Americans and Palestinians, for whom widespread incarceration of their communities is not an issue of crime and punishment, but the result of a system designed to punish them for their very presence.
Greg Thomas is Associate Professor who teaches Black Studies and literature in English at Tufts University. Currently, he is at work on a book manuscript on the revolutionary writings of George L. Jackson, “The Dragon.” As an outgrowth of that project, he curated the “George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine” exhibit in October 2015 for the Abu Jihad Museum for Political Prisoner Affairs at the Abu Dis campus of Al Quds University.
This event is part of Processions of the Sun, a program curated by Eye on Palestine.

About the festival
<p>Connexion vzw (Brussels) and A.M.Qattan Foundation are proposing a focus on flemish-palestinian co-operation in arts and culture, inspired by the Government of Flanders and the Mission of Palestine in Europe, Belgium and Luxembourg who decided on a Flemish-Palestinian cultural project. Unlike the logic of events like Europalia, or even the Venice biennale which are a projection of the imagination of a country, Under Construction is based on reciprocity and aims to promote cultural cooperation, dialogue and exchange.</p>
<p>Instead of focusing on difference and alterity, the two organising partners focus on co-operation and solidarity, and give more visibility and value to forms of 'togetherness' that are already existing between Flanders and Palestine.</p>
