This event is a FAMU/FSU collaboration , co-organized by FAMU Dream Defenders, FSU Students for Justice in Palestine, Center for Participant Education, Progressive Black Men Inc., FSU NAACP, Amnesty International, Seminoles Against Torture, and more.
“There is a Field” is a play about Aseel Asleh, a young Palestinian citizen of Israel who was killed by police in October 2000, along with 12 other Palestinians killed in Israel at the start of the Second Intifada.
Based on interviews and primary sources collected over fourteen years, the play offers a uniquely personal lens for understanding inequality as the root of state violence and impunity.
“[This] intimate story about one family’s journey through grief and struggle for justice is not just the story of Aseel’s family, but it is the story of all family who has lost loved ones to state violence. It is the story of all people whose lives have been shattered by systems of supremacy.” – playwright and producer Jen Marlowe
This event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Parking at Mickee Faust in Railroad Square is free. Donations to support the theatrical production are encouraged but not necessary.
