SUMMARY:'We Are Not Numbers' Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join Ayah Abdel-Qader\, Lubna Alzaroo\, Yarra Hassan\, and Giovanna Khoury\, with Alice Rothchild\, for an evening of readings from We Are Not Numbers: The Voices of Gaza’s Youth.\n\n\nWe Are Not Numbers was founded in 2014 to give voice to the youth of Gaza. In this collection—vital\, urgent and full of heart\, spanning over ten years to the present moment—we gain an unparalleled insight into the past\, as well as the current and next generation of Palestinian leaders\, artists\, scientists and scholars and imagine where we might go from here. \nRegistration is not required\, but helps us anticipate audience size. if you’d like to RSVP\, please do so here! \n“We Are Not Numbers is not just a book—it’s my life\, their life\, and our shared story. I know some of these brave writers; I’ve walked the same streets\, felt the same fear\, and shared the same dreams under Gaza’s skies. These pages carry the truth of our struggle and the beauty of our humanity. This is Gaza as it truly is\, written by those who live it every day.” — Motaz Azaiza\, award-winning Palestinian photojournalist \n“With lovingly crafted words and stories\, the authors in We Are Not Numbers open portals in Israel’s apartheid wall\, inviting readers into the impossible realities of life under siege in Gaza. The collective commitment to doing whatever it takes to produce this extraordinary symphony of testimony is evident on every page. This book is a jailbreak—and a miracle.” — Naomi Klein \n“Essential . . . A project that insists on liberation.” — Ta-Nehisi Coates \n“A rebellion against the singular story. An insightful\, multifaceted glimpse into the besieged Gaza Strip\, where millions of people continue to confront a genocide waged by an Israeli regime.” — Mohammed el-Kurd \nA teenage girl stares at her roof\, hoping it won’t collapse over her head. A young student searches the Internet for photos of libraries around the world\, hoping he’ll be able to visit them one day. Another walks around the city\, taking notes of all the buildings she dreams of repairing. \nThese are the stories of young people from Gaza\, born under Israeli occupation and blockade. They are people who have endured unspeakable struggles and losses\, who keep fighting to be recognized not as numbers\, but as human beings with hopes\, dreams\, and lives worth living.
