Looking back at 2016
This year's Festival was our biggest and most exciting yet. Highlights included the screening of He Named Me Malala with Malala's father Ziauddin Yousafzai in collaboration with the Brookes Documentary Club, and the screening of Suffragette, presented by the film's Director, Sarah Gavron. We were delighted to introduce the new Director of CENDEP, Cathrine Brun and to welcome back editor of the New Internationalist, Hazel Healy. Student organiser Katie Reilly looks back at the 2016 Festival here in CENDEP News. The centrepiece of the 2016 Festival was Women in Adversity: Contemporary and Traditional Crafts as a Source of Hope and Income, an exhibition of crafts made by women facing daily situations of conflict, poverty and disease. This included embroidered panels from the Palestinian History Tapestry, a project which tells the story of the life and heritage of the indigenous people of Palestine and supports the traditional craft of Palestinian needlewomen.
