<p>OMAR SAKR: POETRY IN THE GENOCIDE</p><br><p>Omar Sakr is a poet and writer born in Western Sydney to Lebanese and Turkish Muslim migrants. He is an acclaimed, award-winning author and the first Arab-Australian Muslim to win the Prime Minister’s Literary Award. He is also - like the rest of the world - bearing witness to genocide. So where does art and poetry find its place amidst a horrifying and ongoing massacre? And what does it cost activists to keep showing up when staying silent is not an option?</p><br><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/omarsakrpoet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(IG @OmarSakrPoet)</a></p><br><p><a href="https://apan.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Australia Palestine Advocacy Network </a></p><br><p><a href="https://action.amnesty.org.au/unstoppable" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amnesty International: Unstoppable</a> </p><p><a href="https://mals.au/2019/09/09/help-us-protect-your-rights-to-protest-donate-now/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Melbourne Activist Legal Support</a></p><p>NFP Law - <a href="https://www.nfplaw.org.au/free-resources/advertising/campaigns-or-protests" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">campaigns or protests</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/marieke_hardy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @marieke_hardy</a>).</p><p>You can follow at IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goingtodiepod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GoingToDiePod</a></p><p>Music by Lord Fascinator (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lordfascinator/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @lordfascinator</a>)</p><p>Produced by Darren Scarce (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dazz26/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @Dazz26</a>)</p><p>Video edits by Andy Nedelkovski (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/andyneds/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @AndyNeds</a>)</p><p>Artwork by Lauren Egan (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/heylaurenegan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @heylaurenegan</a>)</p><p>Photography by Eamon Leggett (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/anxietyoptions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @anxietyoptions</a>)</p><p>With thanks to Amelia Chappelow (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ameliachappelow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @ameliachappelow</a>)</p><p>Camilla McKewen (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/camillalucylucy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @CamillaLucyLucy</a>)</p><p>and Rhys Graham (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rhysjgraham/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG @RhysJGraham</a>)</p><br><p>Drop an email to [email protected]</p><br><p>Whilst acknowledging the privilege that comes with having the space to discuss death and mortality, we want to also recognise that discussing these topics can raise some wounds.
