For One Night Only!
We're bringing some of the most fearless voices in music together for one night only — and we'd love you there.

On Friday 11th September, Amos Trust presents a fundraising show for Gaza at The Dome at Grand Central in Liverpool.

On the bill: Amelia Coburn, Aziz Ibrahim, Rasha Nahas, Declan O'Rourke, Ian Prowse, and Paul Weller & Steve Pilgrim — with one more very special headline act to be announced on Friday 4th September.

Paul Weller joins us for a special 30-minute acoustic set. As he puts it: "Am I against genocides and ethnic cleansing? Yes, I am, funnily enough. I can't understand why more people aren't up in arms about what's going on."

Every one of these artists has chosen to stand with Gaza — some through years of activism, some through music that carries Palestinian identity across continents, some simply by saying yes when we asked. Together, they're giving us an evening to remember.

PalArt Festival 2026 starts in one month
23rd September – 3rd October

"Palestinian stories aren't asking for permission to exist. They're simply taking their rightful place on our stages." Giulia Basana, Amos Trust

Four years ago, Giulia Basana found herself behind the lighting desk at the very first PalArt Festival. This September, she'll be there again — for the fifth edition and the most ambitious yet.

In a new blog post for Amos Trust, Giulia reflects on what it has meant to watch PalArt grow from a small and extraordinary first gathering in 2022 to the largest celebration of Palestinian theatre, comedy and music London has ever seen. She's produced work herself — including Ahmed Masoud's The Shroud Maker, which returns as part of this year's programme — and she's clear about what makes PalArt matter.

"It reminds us that Palestine is not only a place of struggle, but also of extraordinary talent. That theatre can be an act of resistance — but it can also be funny, joyful, tender and surprising."

This September, the Pleasance Theatre will host seven productions, live music nights, talks and workshops across eleven days — stories travelling from Gaza, Jenin, Haifa, Ramallah and the Palestinian diaspora.

As Ahmed Masoud, founder of PalArt Collective, puts it: "Where our spaces have been shrinking, the stage opens a world for us to raise our voices and tell our story."

Food, film and foraging — a fundraiser for Palestine 🇵🇸
Spend a late summer afternoon at one of London's most beautiful community farms, with a feast, a film and a foraging walk through the garden — all in support of Palestine.

We're thrilled that Sally Azzam — Palestinian chef and Amos team member — will be cooking a Palestinian late summer feast using seasonal ingredients straight from the garden, in the lovely setting of OrganicLea Community Farm in Lea Valley.

Once we've eaten, we'll settle in for a screening of Foragers (2022, 64 mins), directed by Jumana Manna — a film that follows the quiet drama between Israeli occupation authorities and Palestinian foragers gathering wild herbs on land that's rightfully theirs. Told with a wry sense of humour, it captures inherited love, resilience and knowledge against an unmistakably political backdrop. In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles.

We'll also be joined by Heather Masoud, co-founder of Zaytoun, for a conversation on the challenges facing farmers in the West Bank today — with Zaytoun produce on sale and Palestinian wine to enjoy alongside your meal.

To round off the afternoon, our hosts at OrganicLea will lead a guided walk through the garden, foraging the makings of a fresh herbal tea as we reflect on everything we've heard.

📍 OrganicLea Community Farm, 115 Hawkwood Crescent, London E4 7UH
📅 Sunday 20th September | 1.30pm–5.30pm
🎟️ £30/£20 plus booking fees

All funds raised go directly towards Amos Trust's vital work in Gaza and the West Bank. Come along and stand with Palestine.

Hope in spite of Super El Niño
"It is never too late..." — voices from the climate frontline.

The Amos Climate Fellowship supports women activists and land defenders across Mexico and Central America. This June, fourteen of them gathered to share what Super El Niño is doing to their land and their lives.

"The truth is that Super El Niño is really affecting us," says Silvia Argueta from El Salvador. Their stories, gathered from five countries, describe strikingly similar scenes — coffee plantations scorched so badly they looked chemically sprayed, mangrove nurseries destroyed by waterspouts, whole communities choosing not to plant this year for fear of losing everything.

"I was left devastated... The truth is, I was terrified. Nothing like this has ever been seen before," says Litzy Picado, describing the drought in Nicaragua's Jinotega region — usually one of the coolest parts of the country.

But alongside the fear, there's resolve. Fellowship participants are already building their own solutions — emergency communication systems for communities cut off by hurricanes, mangrove restoration on Costa Rica's coast, mycelium-based soil recovery to help plants survive prolonged drought.

As Litzy puts it: "We have to find a solution, or at least try."

This is a story about climate change without borders — about what it means when the rains simply don't come, and about the women leading the response. Read all fourteen stories, in their own words, via the link below.

Greenbelt 2026
This August bank holiday, we're heading to Greenbelt Festival at Boughton House, near Kettering — and we'd love you to join us.

Alongside the music, art and conversation that make Greenbelt what it is, we're highlighting two sessions this year that speak directly to the reality facing Palestinians today.

🎥 No Fly Zone: The Genocide Continues — Friday 28th August, 8:15pm
In Gaza, the West Bank and Israeli prisons, the genocide continues. We're bringing live link-ups, films from Gaza journalists and an exclusive new film from the Free Marwan Campaign. A powerful evening exploring the ongoing crisis and what continued international inaction really means.

🕊️ Omar Barghouti at the Pagoda — Saturday 29th August, 12:30pm
Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and a 2017 Gandhi Peace Award recipient, joins Greenbelt to talk about the global struggle for Palestinian rights — and the power of BDS in challenging apartheid and corporate complicity. He'll be in conversation with our director, Chris Rose.

And if you spot us at the Caravan of Love, 4:30pm on Saturday, come and say hello — bring a cuppa and a blanket, and meet other Amos supporters.

📍 Boughton House, nr. Kettering, Northants
📅 Thursday 27th – Sunday 30th August 2026

Pleasance London | 5th–31st August
19:00 | 75 mins | 14+ (Guideline)
Tickets from £16.00

Some of us fall in love... some of us get occupied.
An unexpected love between two Palestinian artists in exile becomes a full-scale occupation of the mind, heart, and soul.

‘Majenin’ means ‘crazy people’ in Arabic. The Palestinian rom-com you’ve been waiting for: a tale of two fools who dare to love in a world obsessed with their sadness. Torn between New York, London and Palestine, the only place they truly feel at home is inside of their shared madness.

“Pure comedy gold... that rare combination of vulnerability and bite.” ★★★★ One4Review

Writer/performer Marena Riyad joins award-winning director Maiya Paschouche (4 Girls The First Letter E) and producer Aisha Josiah (Dickless). Blending theatre and stand-up, an intimate, satirical, poetic occupation of the heart.
