En “Reconeixer al estrany, Isabella Hammad reflexiona sobre l’empatia occidental cap al conflicte palestí, qüestionant si aquest reconeixement, quan no va acompanyat d’acció, es queda en una forma buida de solidaritat @anagramaeditor.bsky.social

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: But if we cannot always know the significance of the moment in the moment, it is also true that our moment, the one in which we now live, feels like one of chronic “crisis”: political, economic, and climate crises besiege us, along with other existential crises posed by the exponential development of artificial intelligence, and the recurring nightmare of nuclear war.

‘We rise, and I began to feel a strange elation, one of thousands, moving at the same time, bowing at the same time, rising at the same time. It did not matter who or what I was. I was present.’
