In Conversation with Ahmed Alnaouq and Malak Mattar at Southbank Centre for book launch of We Are Not Numbers
May 6 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
For this event, editor Ahmed Alnaouq and contributor Malak Mattar discuss the book in conversation with Makan Director, Aimee Shalan.
Following the 2014 Gaza War and decades of oppression and resistance, storytelling platform We Are Not Numbers (WANN) was founded to give a voice to the youth of Gaza.
In an epilogue covering the most recent war in Gaza, the collection’s editors Ahmed Alnaouq and Pam Bailey reflect on the personal tragedies they have faced, including the deaths of 21 of Alnaouq’s family members in a single bomb blast, as well as those writers able to take WANN’s work forward and those no longer alive to do so.
In a rallying cry to onlookers around the world, We Are Not Numbers offers unparalleled insight into the real lives of the people of Gaza and imagines where we might go from here.
Presented in association with PalFest.
