Edinburgh Fringe spotlights Palestinian art in bold showcase

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world's largest arts festival, is showcasing Palestinian art and culture this year with a dedicated four-day mini-festival.
Artists from Palestine and the diaspora are presenting uncensored works spanning theatre, dance, comedy, music and poetry.
The event provides a platform for Palestinian artists to express themselves freely, pushing back against censorship and harassment they often face.
Performances range from puppet shows depicting displacement to comedy acts addressing the complexities of Palestinian identity and history.
These artists aim to present a multifaceted view of Palestinian life and culture, refusing to be defined solely by conflict.
By sharing their stories through various art forms, they hope to keep the plight of Palestinians in the public consciousness whilst touching hearts and minds in ways that differ from typical news coverage.
