PROJECTS

Stories Can Live Far Beyond the Page

Randa’s cultural work moves across literature, music, exhibitions, public dialogue and community-building, creating spaces where stories can be experienced, shared and carried into new forms.

FEATURED PROJECT

Voices of Amal

A choral work inspired by stories from Women of Gaza, transformed into three original compositions by Finnish composer Anna-Mari Kähärä.Performed by approximately sixty singers from Finnish women’s choirs at Musiikkitalo, Helsinki, for International Women’s Day 2026, the project carried stories from the book beyond the page and into collective voice and music.

CULTURAL PROJECT

The Real Gaza

A multidisciplinary exhibition and cultural project created with Finnish artist Teemu Mäki, bringing together art, lived experience and Palestinian voices to encounter Gaza beyond conventional media representations.Through different artistic forms, the project creates space for stories, memory and everyday life that are often absent from dominant narratives about Gaza.

COMMUNITY & READING PROJECT

Kawkaba Book Club

One of Randa’s earliest cultural projects, founded in Gaza as a space where young people could meet through books, reading and conversation.The project brought together more than 300 young women and men, turning reading into a shared cultural and social experience and creating space for dialogue, curiosity and critical thought.

VOICES FROM KAWKABA

CULTURAL EVENT

Gaza Calling Espoo

A multidisciplinary cultural event in Espoo bringing audiences closer to Gaza through the voices and experiences of its people. Through literature, live music, dance, video testimonies, public conversation and readings, the programme created a space to encounter Gaza beyond headlines and images of war. The event brought together around 300 people and connected Palestinian stories with Finnish cultural audiences through art, dialogue and shared human experience.

PERSPECTIVE

“We must learn to meet hostility with understanding, breaking cycles of reaction.”

A quiet space for young, active minds to rethink the anatomy of conflict.

YOUTH PROGRAMME

How to Fight with Love

An arts-based youth programme using writing, drawing and creative expression to explore lived experience, identity and social realities.Through participatory activities and conversation, teenagers were invited to examine conflict, empathy and the possibilities of responding to difficult realities through expression rather than silence.
