Public lecture Dalia Taha
Dalia Taha is a Palestinian poet and playwright. She was born in Berlin in 1986 but grew up in Ramallah, Palestine, and graduated from Birzeit University in 2009 with a degree in Architecture. She finished a postgraduate work in the theatre department of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Her first play Keffiyeh/Made in China was produced in 2012 by KVS, the Royal Flemish Theatre in Brussels, and A.M. Qattan Foundation. Fireworks was staged in 2015 by the Royal Court Theatre where she was in residence.
Her new play, There is no one between you and me, was presented in a public reading during the 2017 Edinburgh International Festival. Theatre director Bashar Murkus will stage the play for the opening of the new building of A.M. Qattan Foundation.
In addition to plays, Dalia writes poetry and fiction. She has published two collections of poetry, and one novel. Her poems were translated into English, French, German and Swedish.
During the festival Under Construction. Flemish Palestinian Connections, students of the drama department of both KASK and RITCS will present a public reading of her work in the Minard theatre.

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>
