CATEGORIES:Vortrag\,Solidarität
DESCRIPTION:\nWhen/where: July 8\, 2026\, 7 pm\, HfG (Hochschule für
  Gestaltung)\, first floor (mittlere Lichtbrücke)\n\nHamza Abu Howidy is
  coming to Karlsruhe to read from his book "Muscheln am Strand von Gaza:
  Erinnerungen an ein zerstörtes Land"*.\n\n“Sometimes I feel like the
  loneliest Palestinian in the world.”\n\nHamza Abu Howidy tells us about
  growing up in Gaza in the 2000s\, about his family – particularly his
  father\, who taught him the great lessons in life whilst collecting sea
  shells – but also about the bloody clashes between Fatah and Hamas\,
  right on his doorstep\, and just how much life in Gaza was shaped by
  terror. Years later\, he protested against Hamas and was arrested\,
  tortured and forced to flee. Today\, he is one of the most important
  political voices from the Palestinian exile community\, yet he refuses to
  be co-opted by either the pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian sides. A deeply
  personal book that is both a message of hope and a plea for a democratic
  and peaceful resolution to the Middle East conflict.\n\nThis reading
  continues the ongoing event series “From A Whisper to A Scream: Voices
  of Protest and Dissent\, Acts of Silencing and Models of Resistance”
  and will be held in English. It will be followed by a Q&A session. Entry
  is free.\n\nHamza Abu Howidy\, born in Gaza in 1997\, studied economics
  and administration at the Islamic University of Gaza and began to protest
  Hamas rule at an early age. As part of the "We Want to Live” opposition
  movement\, he was arrested and tortured on several occasions. In 2023\,
  he fled to Germany via Egypt and Greece. He advocates for non-violent
  approaches to the Middle East conflict in German-language and
  international media as a freelance writer and speaker.\nOrganised by the
  Department of Art Theory and Mediaphilosophy\, Community Toolkit Workshop
  and Schwarm: Student Journal for Art and Theory.\n\n* S. Fischer
