  Kilmé is a monthly talk series dedicated to Palestinian artists, intellectuals, and academics; a platform to present their work and speak about subjects that are important to them. Kilmé means word in Arabic. The organizers are dedicated to presenting palestinian voices in all of their diversity and creativity, thus contributing to the cultural landscape of Berlin, a city with the largest Palestinian population in Europe.

  In the February issue of kilmé talks, Sherene Seikaly will be the guest. The evening will be moderated by Tyme Khleifi and Michael Barenboim.

Her book "Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine" (Stanford University Press, 2016) explores economy, territory, the home, and the body. Her forthcoming book, "From Baltimore to Beirut: On the Question of Palestine" tells a global history of capital, slavery, and dispossession. She is the Editor of the "Journal of Palestinian Studies", the Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UCSB, co-editor of the Stanford Studies Middle Eastern and Islamic Societies and Cultures Series, and co-editor of "Jadaliyya".
