On June 5 and 6, 2026, the Gaîté Lyrique hosts the Sahab Festival, a gathering dedicated to the contemporary Palestinian art scene. Initiated in 2021 by the Hawaf collective, Sahab brings together artists, researchers and various Palestinian initiatives. With a multidisciplinary program, the Sahab Festival wishes to create a space for reflection around issues of memory, imagination and artistic solidarity, affirming the place of art as resistance to erasure, and promise for the future.
