Join us as we present TRIPTYCH a new film series highlighting Palestinian films in September, October, and November. TRIPTYCH will be showcasing the subversive power of softness through meditative observation, falling in love, skating, surfing, music, Tatreez, art, and femme relationships. Each screening will be introduced by an artistic presentation that embodies the themes of the film to bring a local perspective. Palestinian-Cuban pop-up ASÚKAR will be outside the bookstore for attendees to purchase food. Curated by Connie Mae Oliver.
