SOMAYA EL SOUSI recommends to write and rewrite, to fail and fail better, each time that you try.
A new state is a big decision? You don’t have to decide right now. Actually, MOHAMED ASHRAF suggests that your indecisiveness could even be more democratic – just if you give agency equally to all of your contradictions.
We assume that you can lose your memory, but you don’t have to lose your language. Though, we perfectly know how uncanny it is; speaking a language that is not rooted in your emotional history, in your joys and torments, wins and defeats. So, take a deep breath and read poems by PEGAH AHMADI, NADA AL-KHAWWAM and AMANI ABOSHABANA. Explore with them the feeling of being lost in translation. We meet you there, lost as much as you. Together we navigate, until we’re found again.
