Sara Abou Ghazal is a Palestinian writer who grew up in Beirut. She is a founding member of several feminist collectives such as Sawt al-niswa or The Knowledge Workshop, which focus specifically on oral history and work on intergenerational transmission within feminist movements.

This specific concern for oral history can be found in her first novel The Dreams of Ayn Ara (Khan Aljanub, 2022), which tells the story of a Palestinian family in a polyphonic narrative where each chapter corresponds to a different family member. Her work questions the issue of memory, both from a feminist and a Palestinian perspective, and the duality between absence and presence experienced by Palestinians as a result of the Nakba, and then exile in various countries. Sara Abou Ghazal explores new narrative horizons by mixing realistic settings with dreams and visions in order to expand the realm of possibilities and broaden political imagination.

She currently lives in Belgium and is working on a second novel. Some of her texts can be found on her blog Badiya or published in Arab journals such as Rommanmag, Mada Masr, Al-Akhbar, Jeem and Al-Morasel.
