#35 Zonder Gelijkheid, Geen Vrede

EN

Together with SEXYLAND World we organized an evening to come together in support of the international call for an immediate cease­fire and access to humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza. We stand for a future without discrimination, occupation, oppression, segregation, colonization, and genocide. The evening at SEXYLAND World was filled with contributions from, among others, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Simomo Bouj, القاق ​ Q, Ahmad Mallah and Sami Kaspi.

NL

Samen met SEXYLAND World nodigen we jullie graag uit voor een avond in het teken van de mensenrechtenschendingen in Gaza en daarbuiten. De avond bij SEXYLAND World is gevuld met bijdragen van onder anderen Marjolijn van Heemstra, Simomo Bouj, القاق – Q, Ahmad Mallah en Sami Kaspi.

De situatie in Gaza daar kunnen we wat ons betreft heel helder over zijn: Wat daar gebeurt kan niet en dat kan al heel lang niet en het gebeurt niet alleen daar. Toch lijkt precies deze oorlog een heleboel zaken bloot te leggen in onze samenleving. De maatschappelijke ophef is groot maar leidt ook tot grote verdeeldheid. Antisemitisme en Islamophobie sentimenten groeien. Je uitspreken kan grote consequenties hebben, je niet uitspreken ook. Leuzen worden bevraagd, woorden gewogen en ondertussen blijven de bommen vallen.

Deze avond wordt georganiseerd vanuit een grote behoefte de juiste woorden te vinden voor wat zoveel mensen op dit moment voelen. Onmacht. Rouw. Verdriet. Woede. Een sluimerende angst dat dit ons verder verdeelt. We willen deze zoektocht naar woorden, naar daden, naar het uitspreken zonder tegenspreken binden in een avond waarin verwarring centraal mag staan, waarin reflecties gedeeld worden en luisteren belangrijker is dan spreken. De sfeer zal veilig en informeel zijn met bijdragen van stadsdichter Marjolijn van Heemstra, performer Simomo Bouj, rapper القاق – Q, kunstenaar Ahmad Mallah, Joods Marokkaanse ambassadeur Sami Kaspi e.a.
