Lighthouse Book Fringe: Stories of Palestine: Life & Culture from Gaza to Jerusalem

Mahmoud Muna and Matthew Teller, co-editors of the Palestine Book Award-shortlisted Daybreak in Gaza, talk culture, literature, storytelling and their role in resistance.

Daybreak in Gaza is a record of an extraordinary place and people, and of a culture preserved by the people themselves. Vignettes of artists, acrobats, doctors, students, shopkeepers and teachers offer stories of love, life, loss and survival. They display the wealth of Gaza’s cultural landscape and the breadth of its history.

Daybreak in Gaza humanises the people dismissed as statistics. It stands as a mark of resistance to the destruction and as a testament to the people of Gaza.

This event is part of Book Fringe 2025. You can learn more about the festival here.
