Description: Penyair Suheir Hammad membacakan dua karya puisi-narasi (spoken-word) yang membuat kita bergidik: "What I Will" (Apa Ku Akan) dan "break (clustered)" (patah setandan) -- suatu meditasi tentang perang dan perdamaian, tentang wanita dan kekuasaan. Tunggu baris yang menggetarkan: "Jangan takuti apa yang sudah meledak. Bila harus, takuti yang belum meledak."

Suheir Hammad: Puisi tentang perang, perdamaian, perempuan, kekuasaan

The poems call out the pressure to conform and participate in cycles of violence, insisting on the right to resist and create new rhythms of solidarity. Vivid images, like a heartbeat louder than death and a warning to fear the unexploded, evoke both the trauma of conflict and the power of personal agency. Women’s stories of loss, survival, and defiance stand at the center, challenging the ways society mourns and remembers. Through poetry, the call is to craft one's own meaning, even amid devastation.
