Night for Impossible Light is a reading series that raises funds for Impossible Light, a mutual aid group supporting people on the ground in Gaza.

Writers and translators Yena Sharma Purmasir, David Ianconangelo, and Laura Tanenbaum, will read liberation-themed poetry and prose. A letterpressed chapbook with writing from Hiba Abu Nada, Hind Joudah, Noor Aldeen Hajjaj, and Ahmed Mortaja sourced from the incredible site gazapassages.com will also be available for purchase.

Impossible Light founders Tamie (USA) and Allaa (Gaza / Belgium) will call in to share how they’ve been working with friends in Gaza to support their communities.

100% of ticket and chapbook sales will be donated to Impossible Light.
