The writers and artists in ROOM 2.25 bear witness to what must happen in ourselves, our communities, and our political movements for truth to be faced and change to occur. Some write from amidst genocide, others from their country's fascist turn, and still others from the impact of environmental catastrophe. Each of these life-threatening events inscribes itself differently on our souls. We live in terrifying times.
Hala Al Sarraj's Will the Sun Rise Again in Gaza?, Mohamed Omran Abu Shawish's For How Long!? From Gaza, Yianna Ionnaou's Our Guernica, and Sahar Vardi's Activating Hope in Dark Times come to ROOM through a network of colleagues, committed to justice, equality, and human rights who have been working closely with practitioners on the ground in Israel/Palestine and Gaza.
