THE POWER OF RESILIENCE IN GAZANS'  STORIES
Betty Townley delves into the profound impact of the "We Are Not Numbers" exhibition, held at London's P21 Gallery, which showcased the resilience and resistance of Gazan writers. Through interviews with curators Taya Amit and Almuhannad Allahham, the article examines the transformative power of storytelling in bridging global divides and turning empathy into action.

EDITOR'S
NOTES


In this issue, Emerging Voices features a tribute to young Gazans, once part of the We Are Not Numbers extended community and now dead. 

We have recent work from Kenya creatives Kake Wakake and Lydiah Dolah, and Voices Rising has added the Nigerian community theatre Thatch House.


Jackie Hopfinger, north London photographer, shares her exquisite photos from a May trip to Japan, and Rachel Jacobs, climate activist, has an update on her journey with Future Machine, an interactive art work encouraging work towards a better climate future. Conversations with Old(er) Women introduces Roni Natov, Ph.D., on site and via Spotify. I post another essay in my Chronicles of an Elder series.
