Youmna Chlala: "Night Needs No Stars"

The conversation you’re about to hear, “The Tenses of Cultural Differences,” washeld between Monica de la Torre, Youmna Chlala, Sarah Riggs, and AlishaMascarenhas in April 2021. Monica and Youmna interrogate the past to investigate complex present times andsimultaneous states of reality. They contemplate the future as a place of potentialrather than collapse. Together with Sarah and Alisha, they question the notion ofheritage and the limits of empathy. They wonder how equivalences and differencesrather than same-same structures – in translation, art, film, and among people – canbetter address the pressures of the present.In the conversation, you’ll hear Monica and Youmna read from their own works.Monica will read an excerpt from Repetition Nineteen, published by Nightboat in2020, as well as an unpublished poem, while Youmna will tell us more about ThePaper Camera, the book she published, in 2019, with Litmus Press.
