Three writers confront the stranger in their books, in the outside world and within themselves. After years of exile the South-African writer Breyten Breytenbach dwells in a middle world between Europe and Africa. Asmaa Azaizeh, a Palestinian poet, lives in a country where the space for her people is shrinking. Iraqi novelist Sinan Antoon resides in New York where he teaches and writes novels about his homeland. Photographer Marc Trivier also tells the story through his photographs of Darwish. The thread that runs through this evening is the work of the Palestinian writer Mahmoud Darwish, the stranger par excellence who passed away ten years ago, in August 2008. The authors will dwell on their affinity with Darwish’s oeuvre and the extent to which they feel strangers in their life and work. full info in this link: https://www.bozar.be/en/activities/144254-i-m-the-stranger
