On September 21, the author Johannes Anyuru<\/strong> will come to R\u00f6rane Studio together with the artist Majdal Nateel <\/strong>and the musician and artist Salman Nawati.<\/strong> Voice, image and music as a counterforce to the brutality of the state of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine and what is currently taking place in Gaza, a state of emergency where all international law has been put in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the book The Facts, the author Johannes Anyuru gives voice to living and dead poets from Gaza as well as South Africa’s genocide charges against Israel submitted to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Some of the harshest and most beautiful poems being written in the world right now are written by poets in Gaza who have either already been killed by Israel or are at risk of being murdered at any moment. It is poetry that tells the story of the annihilation of a people and that at the same time conveys the love of life and resistance.” Athena Farrokhzad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>The past six months have really exposed how deeply racist and banal this world is. Everyone knows you could never kill 15,000 Western white children without someone intervening.\u201d
\u2014 Johannes Anyuru, ETC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the book Faktan (Clandestino Institut 2024), poet Johannes Anyuru reproduces the brutal core of South Africa’s genocide accusations against the state of Israel that were submitted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is based on a lecture in the so-called Gaza Park where students set up tent camps in the spring of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facts summarized here in their nakedness, without the intricacies of legal jargon, are interwoven with poems by Palestinian poets who, with few exceptions, were killed in the bombings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-\u201cIf the sovereign is the one who, insofar as he declares a state of emergency, has the power to decide who can be killed without it being a murder, in the era of biopolitics this power is freed from the state of emergency, and then transformed into the power to decide at what point a life ceases to be politically relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
