Since November 2023, a group of readers has gathered every day for one hour at Dam Square, Amsterdam to read aloud from books and texts by Palestinian authors, and from works on Palestinian history, life, and struggle. The Reading Vigil for Free Palestine is a daily public action that makes a growing bibliography on Palestine audible and visible in the heart of the city.

By reading aloud in public space, the vigil claims time and attention for political education while building a self organised audio archive and a dispersed collective library. The readings continue in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in opposition to the ongoing genocide, settler colonialism, apartheid, and occupation carried out by the Israeli state.

Join the vigil at the square from 12:30 – 13:30 every day.
