The Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS)
The oldest research publisher of academic journals, books, databases, & stories on Palestine & the Palestinians.
The Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS) was established in Beirut in 1963 as an independent non-profit research institution, unaffiliated with any political organization or government. The creation of the institute, the first of its kind in the Arab world, occurred at a time when the Palestine Question was regaining its central place in inter-Arab politics and when Palestinian identity was regaining its vitality.

These organisations exemplify how theatre can be a powerful tool for healing and resistance in times of conflict, offering both direct support and international solidarity.

We believe in the importance of creating a cultural space that is invested in building communities, presenting new thinking and daring creativity, inspiring experimentation, and interrogating contemporary issues around social justice. A part of this work has always been to platform creative voices from Palestine.
