Hosted in partnership with Bristol Palestine Museum and Bristol Solidarity Cafe, this fundraiser directly supports Ibrahim, his family, and their vital relief efforts through Al Nasser Charitable Society. Join us on February 8th as art, music, and community come together in aid of Palestinian families displaced by the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

About the Cause

Al Nasser Charitable (النَّاصر- ‘The Helper’) was founded in 2021 by our friend Ibrahim Raida during the Israeli attacks on Gaza, with the aim of delivering urgent aid to those affected. This fundraiser directly supports Ibrahim, his displaced family, and their vital work through the charity.

Ibrahim and his family were displaced from Gaza City to Rafah, along with over a million others. As Executive Director of Al Nasser Charitable, Ibrahim leads efforts to provide essential support, including food parcels, health kits, drinking water, tent camps, and hot meals for displaced communities. All proceeds will help those who have had their homes detroyed, providing them with essential support as they continue to live in tents while working to rebuild their lives.

What to Expect:

Art & Exhibitions
Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the local art and exhibitions provided by South West England’s most promising young artists. Silent bidding will run throughout the evening and an open auction for art pieces will be carried out at 9:00pm – the highest of which will be donated directly to Ibrahim and his family.

Poetry
Riveting poetry set to bring chills and set heart ablaze is to be expected from this event. With Sonder Spoken Word on board to asssist in curation and ensure the most poignant individuals are represented here, there’s no doubt the passions will be ignited through this rhythmic contribution.

Live Entertainment
We’re very lucky and honoured to have some of the best in Bristol up and coming talent join us in provining a cascade of soothing melodies to soothe the evening and ease our transitions between the showcases which this evening will be graced with. From indie-folk artists to spoken word performances, the soundtrack of the evening promises to be one which will soothe the soul.

Let’s come together to make a direct contribution as we recognise the power of art, culture, and collective action.
