# Event Details - **Event Name**: Sumud Siempre* - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Julian Sayarer explores parallels and connections between resistance in Palestine and the popular struggle for freedom in Latin AmericaAbout this EventIs the conflict so-called ‘between the River and the Sea’ something unique, or should we see it as part of a much larger struggle by the Global South against the forces of empire?In 2018, Julian Sayarer travelled through historic Palestine by bicycle, talking to ordinary people along the way. The resulting book, , was described by the Guardian as a ‘thoughtful, meditative travelogue [that] feels very important’. ‘It conveys powerfully what life is like for people on both sides of “the world’s most entrenched impasse”,’ the Daily Telegraph said.For his latest book, , he followed Che’s famous 1952 journey across the continent by motorbike, exploring what has changed since then and what has stayed the same. Along the way, he encountered imperialism new and old, and longstanding solidarity with both the Palestinians and Zionist Israel.This evening, we have asked Julian to draw together the threads of what he has learnt from roadside conversations with ordinary people on these two extraordinary journeys. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/f7635260-86ff-11f1-9a9e-39ca0151cd66-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Julian Sayarer has a background in political science but made his name as a travel writer.
