Step 2: Register for “Little Palestine Walking Tour” here

Join Workshops4Gaza, Samar Hussaini, and members of SOMA for Palestine and SOMA Collective for Palestine for an in-person walking tour of “Little Palestine” in Paterson, New Jersey where we will explore local shops, restaurants, bakeries to learn about the culture and community of one of largest Palestinian communities in the United States.

Participants will have an opportunity to talk with local community members. The final stop of the walking tour will be a local Palestinian grocery store, where everyone will be given a handout with several traditional Palestinian recipes and a shopping list of ingredients to buy if they wish.

The walking tour will run approximately four hours in total. Because we need to be respectful of the spaces we are visiting, children under the age of 12 are not recommended for this event.

Participants should arrange their own transportation to Paterson, NJ, and meeting point will be shared upon registration. They should also bring $40 cash or Venmo to cover the cost of food.

Samar Hussaini is a Palestinian artist based in New Jersey, known for her
captivating artwork that blends various layers of mediums and techniques including traditional Tatreez embroidery and Palestinian patterns. Her work has been showcased in galleries, exhibits and shows around the world.

Samar will be joined by members of SOMA for Palestine and SOMA Collective for Palestine, a coalition of individuals and groups who live in South Orange and Maplewood, New Jersey, and engage in political education and community organizing in service of a liberated Palestine.
