A recording of a talk by Shahd Hammouri at the TNI symposium on ‘Revisiting the Past, Shaping the Future’ in Amsterdam on 14 October 2023.
Hammouri speaks about how the words of former Chilean president Salvador Allende specifically give agency to peoples around the world and links them to the ongoing Palestinian struggle for liberation and self-determination.
