Awar to Co-host Evening of Reflection on the Life and Activism of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi (10/25/24)
Posted: 10/11/2024 (Local Events)
On Friday, October 25th, CSDE Seminar Series Chair and Faculty Council Member of the Middle East Center Dr. Rawan Arar and Dr. Aria Fani (Middle East Center Faculty Council member) will host an event entitled “An evening of reflection on the life and activism of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.” Late this summer, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed while protesting in the West Bank. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was a recent graduate of the UW.
The evening will include a musical performance and poetry readings, as well as a conversation with Cindy and Craig Corrie. Their daughter, Rachel Corrie, was also a human rights activist from WA who was killed while protesting in Palestine in 2003. Aysenur’s family will be in attendance as well. We hope that this solemn event will be a meaningful recognition of our students’ loss. Learn more about the event and how to attend at this link.
