“Journalism has irrevocably changed. It has connected Palestine to every cause of exploitation, of every imperialistic brutality, of every unnecessary elite driven pain that we have.” Afeef Nessouli, Lebanese journalist
“Quiero hablar del buen periodismo”is a site specific public lecture that reorganizes in the form of a public manifesto a video message posted on the social media by the Lebanese journalist Afeef Nessouli, “I want to talk about good journalism”.
During a year of genocide, social media has become a tool for conveying, archiving, and accessing news and voices that are not being told by Western mainstream journalism. As the Lebanese journalist says in: “Journalism has irrevocably changed. It has connected Palestine to every cause of exploitation, of every imperialistic brutality, of every unnecessary elite driven pain that we have. Even though we haven't yet freed Palestine, Palestine has begun to free us.”
I specifically prepared the lecture as I’ve been invited to do a posting action for the press conference for the opening of the Universidad Autonoma Metropolita shelter. The shelter is part of the Fronteras project adn part of the UAM-ICORN Strategy of CDMX.
Since its founding, it has shelterd more than 350 at-risk writers, artists and journalists.
