“Reflections on Displacement, in Three Parts"
Through a series of three dispatches, Menna Saber Abo Salem recounts her experiences as a university student navigating ongoing displacement. The series traces practices of resilience that have emerged for her in this ongoing crisis, through interwoven vignettes, poetry and photographs. The work meditates on the university as a dual form of shelter, as both physical sanctuary in crisis and symbolic locus of writerly production as resistance.
