Sabrin Hasbun is a Palestinian-Italian transnational writer. She has always had to mediate between cultures and every day for her is a journey across borders.

Sabrin believes in the extremely generative power of collective creation and action and her research focuses on collaborative practices to explore histories of marginalised groups and decolonisation strategies. She has recently worked as writer, editor, translator, and trainer for several institutions around the world and published articles, both individual and collaborative, about collective creation in communities. She now works as a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff Met university, specialising in writing for and by marginalised groups.

Crossing (previously Wait for Her), Sabrin’s family memoir about displacement told through the love shared between her Italian mother and Palestinian father, has recently been awarded the Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize.

Crossing

A story about grief and what it means to lose not only your loved ones, but a place in the world and a sense of belonging.

Crossing (previously Wait for Her) has recently been awarded the Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize and will be published in 2025.
