"Dancers are at Constant Risk of Being Arrested"

A 22-year-old Dabke dancer, who wishes to remain unnamed, says Palestinian artists are trying to send out a strong message to the world, that is silently watching the Gaza genocide
IT was a few weeks after October 7. It was a cold afternoon and the sun was dull when my friends were dragged into a dark room, never to be seen again. They were perhaps shot dead.
They were passing through one of the hundreds of checkpoints built around Bethlehem where the Israeli Army can do anything to you depending on their mood. The hostilities have intensified after October 7. We cannot sleep. As Palestinians, we are afraid that what is happening in Gaza can happen to us any day, any moment.
I am a refugee. My grandparents were from Deir Rafat village, which was occupied by Israeli forces in 1948. Since moving to Bethlehem, for us, life has not improved much. All Palestinians live in a state of fear and anxiety as our entire existence has been a struggle—whether as kids, teenagers, and adults.

Rage of Betrayals
THIS is a popular poem often shared when anyone talks of the 4B movement in South Korea. The women in this movement boycott the world of men; boycott heterosexual marriage, relationships, sex, and giving birth.

Class and Caste
Caste hierarchies continue to exist in everyday life and across campuses. Due to the persistence of caste in schools and colleges, long believed to be places for upward mobility and rational thought, these institutions end up becoming spaces where questions of \"merit\", cultural capital, language and access-or the lack of thereof-are highlighted and ridiculed. The discrimination persists from Kashmir to Kerala. From delayed degrees and stalled promotions to verbal abuse, professional isolation, and sometimes death, these case studies underscore not isolated instances but a pattern

Writing is Acting by Another Name
My wife spots him first while my attention is focused on the bucket of theatre popcorn (medium, salt and caramel mix). I look up and there he is. Pico Iyer, great travel writer, essayist, novelist, columnist, humanist, and in recent years, friend and correspondent. While the rest gasp when Timothee Chalamet appears in Marty Supreme, we gasp when Pico does.
