We are really pleased that Sabrin Hasbun will be speaking on Saturday 21st June and reading from her book “Crossing”. Sabrin Hasbun is a Palestinian-Italian transnational writer. She has always had to mediate between cultures and every day for her is a journey across borders.
Sabrin believes in the extremely generative power of collective creation and action and her research focuses on collaborative practices to explore histories of marginalised groups and decolonisation strategies. She has recently worked as writer, editor, translator, and trainer for several institutions around the world and published articles, both individual and collaborative, about collective creation in communities. She now works as a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff Met university, specialising in writing for liberated imaginations and alternative futures.
Sabrin‘s first book, the family memoir Crossing: a love story between Italy and Palestine, won the Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize and will be published in May 2025.
