Casa Palestina Opening Weekend
Casa Palestina opens as the first Palestinian cultural house in Lisbon, a space dedicated to Palestinian culture and artistic expression.
Saturday, March 28th | 7 PM - 1 AM
Created for the continuity of Palestinian culture across generations, Casa Palestina brings together artists, writers, educators, and community members to share ideas, knowledge, and creative endeavors
The night will feature special performances by Palestinian artists:
7:00 PM – Reception – Guests are welcomed into the Casa Palestiniana as the space opens for gathering and connection. Palestinian finger foods, tea, and refreshments will be served.
8:30 PM — Rawan (Live)
Rawan Roshni is a Palestinian artist and vocalist whose work centers on connection, healing, and cultural expression. Blending traditional SWANA influences with contemporary sounds, she creates powerful live experiences that invite audiences into a space of shared emotion and collective presence.
9:30 PM — Dabke Performance
A live performance by Handala. Dabke, a traditional Palestinian folk dance, embodies the spirit of collective movement and intergenerational continuity.
9:45 PM — ISAM (Live)
Palestinian pianist, composer, and live electronic performer ISAM places the piano at the heart of a dynamic Afro-electronic soundscape, merging acoustic depth with immersive electronic textures.
11:00 PM — Adan (DJ Set)
A London-based artist from Jerusalem, Adan delivers minimal house and deep electronic selections tailored for the late-night dancefloor—bass-driven, rhythmic, and hypnotic.
Casa Palestina is located in Alcântara, whose name derives from the Arabic al-qantara, meaning “the bridge.” In a city whose history still bears traces of Arabic, Casa Palestina becomes another meeting place.
As the first Palestinian cultural house in Lisbon, Casa Palestina establishes a permanent place for Palestinian cultural life to be practiced, shared, and carried forward.
Bears traces of Arabic, Casa Palestina becomes another meeting place
Here, art is encountered as a form of resistance, a way of bringing voices together across distance and displacement. Culture has transformed into more than expression; it is the means by which memory is defended, erasure is resisted, and what must endure is preserved. At its heart is a simple belief: art and culture are not separate from struggle; they are the lifeline through which people continue to imagine their future.
Throughout the evening, guests will explore the art exhibition, experience special musical performances, and enjoy Palestinian bites prepared with care.
