Time is never neutral.

For some, it is measured in deadlines and calendars. For others, in waiting, displacement, return, memory, and survival.

What happens to time when tomorrow can no longer be imagined?

Authors Ahmad E., Ahmed Sarsour, Haneen Zaqout, Duha Alshaqaqi, and Khaled A. explore what time means for those living in Gaza, those who left, those who returned after 7 October, and those watching from afar. The conversation also asks how algorithms shape visibility and memory, and what it means to inherit generations marked by the continued Nakba.

Notes from the audience

^{“Tomorrow is us” was a very inspiring and motivating phrase that now functions as a time capsule of the event in my imagination. When human identity is severed from time and place and humanity lies in shreds, will we squabble over the scraps of meaning left available to us, or will we thread the pieces together with systems of thought that support life rather than industrial power? The authors did an excellent job articulating how they resist perceiving Gaza/Palestine as a land with no tomorrow and a point of no return for humanity.”—livestream viewer, E.A., Canada}
