The Power of Writing in Activism
Writing remains a vital tool for activism, shaping narratives, demanding change, and documenting harm. Historical and modern practices demonstrate its effectiveness in organizing and mobilizing communities, with a variety of formats available. Digital safety is crucial in today's landscape. Writing fosters clarity, builds solidarity, and empowers voices, making action possible.https://dreamspacestudio.net/the-power-of-writing-in-activism/
Last year I took part in a writing workshop called "Love letters to Gaza", organized by Even Minn and Raoni Muzho Saleh. The texts we wrote were then sent to Ashtar Theatre, to their call "Letters to Gaza". As a poet and a researcher interested in collective writing, it was an important event, and I will probably end up reflecting it later in my research.
The texts now been published:
