This week on Wednesday we will assembly agian, with a focus on Prison Literature.
“The revolution is not just a rifle but also the pen, the word, and the poem.”
Prison literature (“adab al-sujoun”) is literary production that is written in prison or about the prison experience and forms an important part of the Palestinian literary canon. It is impossible to think about Palestinian literature without considering the place or significance of this genre of writing, especially considering that many, if not most, significant Palestinian literary and intellectual figures have been imprisoned by the Israeli occupation in their lifetime.
In the discussion we will focus on what threatens to happen in the Netherlands as well! Journalist Mustafa Ayyash exposes unchecked power inside the prison system.
The Reading Assembly on Palestine-series is co-created and co-hosted by MOSs Social Club, Platform POST & Proces Verbaal.
