POETRY IN THE HOUR OF GENOCIDE BROADCAST
Sudnay 15⁄09, 18-20h CET
radio alhara
https://www.radioalhara.net/ https://www.radioalhara.net/
————————-
No written intervention, no matter how earnestly penned, can grasp,
contain, or abrogate the manifold scales of violence, the shameless
saturnalia of mass murder, callous barbarism, and flagrant fabrication of
falsehoods that saturate the ongoing lived realities of genocide. The
horrors, intimacies, and scales of genocidal violence exceed imagination
and description, they escape analytical capture. Poetry however has the
power to speak the unspeakable. It has the ability to elicit joy and make
us feel the pain and heartbreak from which we regularly shy away. Poetry
can also make new realities possible, because it rescues us from apathy,
reconnects us to our feelings, and helps us to continue resisting.
The Kitchen, Poetik Riots and Milady Renoir together with OMAM, Globe Aroma
and many other friends have put together this special event of
revolutionary poetry and music. The broadcast will bring together different
struggles against genocide and for liberation around the rythm of words and
notes in multiple languages. Come joins us!
Contributions in order of appearance: Soledad Kalza and Sina Kienou, Saraa
Saleh, Natasha Soobramanien, Tasnim Nagi, Malika Hamri, Maïa Chauvier,
Soledad Kalza and Sina Kienou, Rym Khene, Aliette Griz, Hala El Mohor,

===================================================
“*Another wave overcomes the first and fulminates. Sparkling and streaming
with new life. Without number, overflowing the shores of time, from
eternity to eternity, other waves are born and die, covering and renewing
themselves, adding their life to life. From as far away as we can hear
them, they all have the same voice, repeating the same word: peace, peace,
peace…*”
Driss Chraibi, La Civilisation ma mère, 1988, pp14·
First Waves is a collaborative open platform that proposes to share the
often-silenced stories of the struggles for dignity of the Maghrebi and
Black diasporas in Belgium. Rendering visible the early waves that reveal
and erode persistent racialized and colonial structures. By collaborating
with the witnesses and protagonists of these first waves, the platform
gathers memories, recorded testimonies and archival materials washed
ashore, spanning from the colonial era to the dawn of the new millennium.
This effort aspires to initiate a transformative ebb and flow of memorial
restitution, repairing and honoring memories shaped by the waves of
anti-racist struggles that precede us. These constitutive waves,
overflowing the shores of time, from eternity to eternity, continue to move
the undercurrent of the present, sedimenting the enduring impact of
historical contempt and eroding different pathways towards a shared
dignified horizon.
With testimonies of Ahmed Oubari, Billy Kalonji, Fatiha Saidi, Bambi
Ceuppens, Mustapha Bentaleb, Omar Ba, Rachida El Idrissi, Suzanne Monkassa,
Zoulika Atarhouch and Ken Ndiaye.
Samira Saleh invited Myriem El-Kaddouri, Kavena Gomos/Le Dauphin, Avery
Bertrand Iradukunda and Zaineb Hamdi to share there poetic impression of
the platform.
Testimonies and poems filmed and edited by Mustapha Bandini and Najib
Chairi.
First Waves is an open collaborative platform cooked with love in the
Kitchen, bringing together the Memory/History collective and the Pioneers
of Anti-Racism project. The platform is designed by those.tools, with the
support of Equal.Be, MENARG & S:PAM (UGent) and BIRMM (VUB).

“INDUSTRY PROTOCOL IN THE TIME OF GENOCIDE”
written up by the Palestine Film Institute
————————
————————
Two weeks ago the PFI, Palestine Film Institute launched a protocol for
filmmakers, artists and members of the film industry to use in the coming
period. The protocol defines terms of engagement for screenings, Q&A’s and
other moments of public and non public exposure in the film industry to set
the ground in the film industry for addressing the ongoing genocide against
the Palestinian people. We hope you take this protocol and the tools
proposed in it and take them to adapt in the spaces you maneuver. Until
liberation for all those of us living under oppression.
You can find the protocol in full here:
