If you’re going to @hotdocs.bsky.social catch a screening of Ai Weiwei’s Turandot. With his unique creative vision he masterfully reimagines Turandot & infuses the opera with today’s most pressing global emergencies and contemporary themes of conflict, refugees and class. Powerful and important art.

❤️‍🩹Poignant poem from Serge Bakor Lambey, our water and sanitation supervisor in a transit camp in eastern Chad.

His inspiration for writing? His humanitarian work. Serge and his team provide clean drinking water & maintain sanitation facilities for refugees.

#Sudan: We are appalled to learn that nine staff from Relief International were killed on April 11. It was the only international assistance organization still operating in #Zamzam camp.

“I have to fight despair every day. For me, hope is not some abstract concept. It is a prerequisite for my survival. And so I don’t have room for hopelessness in my life. I’ve got to fight it. Because my life kind of depends on it.” @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

#Gaza: On March 2, a Palestinian man was shot next to the entrance of the Doctors Without Borders-supported Al-Shaboura clinic, in #Rafah.

This was then followed by a round of bullets shot near the facility, leading our team to take shelter inside the clinic. A bullet hit the building.

Does anybody really know you? It’s a question that arises at odd moments—sometimes, perversely, when we’re surrounded by people who know us well.
Does Anyone Really Know You?
Our yearning to be fully known is inevitable—and, perhaps, misleading.
