The Funambulist #58 | Return | Mar/Apr 2025

Twenty Palestinians envision the liberation of Palestine through art, essays, fiction, and poetry.

Welcome to the 58th issue of The Funambulist, dedicated to Palestinian Return/Awda/العودة. In its original intentions, as defined in the beginning of 2024, this issue was thought to be published long after a ceasefire in Palestine would have been reached. Anticipating a significant decrease in global mobilization for the Palestinian struggle, this issue was meant to contribute to an effort of re-intensifying of this mobilization. In the end, the genocidal siege on Gaza and its echoes in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria have lasted much longer than any of us could have imagined and this issue was produced in a context of duress and despair for many of its contributors.
