We gather to reflect on the daily acts of resistance that have taken place at Dam Square in Amsterdam over the past months, led by a group of cultural workers, artists, curators, activists, and others. This gathering will include a reading of Political Prisoners’ Letters, shared by Palestinian poet and playwright Dalia Taha, which you can reach and listen to in this exhibition. Dalia provides instructions on how to approach the letters, offering a poetic cue to the process of writing, receiving, and reading them after their menacing journey. Through the collective act of sharing and engaging with these letters — and by forming an impromptu library with the books read aloud in Amsterdam’s centre — an essential question emerges: What is the purpose of reading, and how do we become readers in this world?
