SUMMARY:Webinar: Creative Resistance and Media Activism in Western Sahara
DESCRIPTION:Join Nonviolence International\, Solidarity Rising and World BEYOND War for a webinar on Tuesday\, July 28\, at 5pm Western Sahara and 12pm EDT\, entitled Creative Resistance and Media Activism in Western Sahara. Speakers include Mahfud Bechri\, Najla Lamin Salma\, Saharawi Voices’ Mohamedsalem\, and Nazha Khalidi\, and host Greta Thunberg. \nThis webinar brings together Sahrawi activists\, scholars\, filmmakers\, and journalists to show that resistance isn’t only remembered — it’s created\, published\, and performed every day. Across the refugee camps and the occupied territories\, poetry\, music\, and visual art sustain morale and preserve identity\, while citizen journalists and digital organizers break through Morocco’s media restrictions and the silence the rest of the world has allowed to settle over Western Sahara. Speakers will trace how their creative and media work operates as a frontline strategy of nonviolent resistance\, and open space for connection with journalists\, artists\, and organizers gathering in the camps near Tindouf\, at the Sahrawi Solidarity Summit\, in January 2027. \nGoals \n\n\nCenter Sahrawi voices directly and focus on resistance \n\n\nFrame creativity as resistance: position Sahrawi poetry\, music\, visual art\, and film not as cultural footnotes but as active\, nonviolent resistance strategies that preserve identity and sustain morale across the camps and occupied territories \n\n\nSpotlight media activism: highlight the work of citizen journalists\, bloggers\, and digital organizers documenting conditions and breaking through Morocco’s media restrictions in the occupied territories\, and the international blackout on Western Sahara \n\n\nBuild cross-movement connections: link Sahrawi creatives/media workers with allied journalists\, artists\, and organizers from other movements attending the Summit\, planting seeds for collaboration in Tindouf \n\n\nCall to action: Boycott the Odyssey movie\, amplify/share Sahrawi media\, fund specific media projects\, attend the Summit 2027 \nPlease note that by registering\, you agree to share your contact details with sponsoring organizations.
