Stories for Tomorrow: How Collaborative Palestinian and Israeli Writing Transforms Television

Cultural storytelling can spark transformation — opening space for new perspectives, unexpected connections, and fresh political imagination. This panel brings together Palestinian and Jewish creators from ALBI Fund’s Shared Society on the Small Screen program, whose collaborative work expands how identities are portrayed and understood. Through drama, nuanced narratives, and deeply human stories, these storytellers explore how art can challenge assumptions, foster empathy, and inspire both personal and collective change. Actor-director Yousef Sweid (The Goat; Between The River And The Sea, Unorthodox; The Spy), Non-Issue co-creators Nayef Hammoud & Gal Rosenbluth, program director Keren Michael, and ALBI founder Libby Lenkinski share how their creative partnerships imagine futures built on complexity, curiosity, and connection.
