AL-HAYYA

Issue #4 of Al Hayya traces resistance in the home, on the streets, across borders, and within the self. From Gaza, where genocide compresses time into isolated minutes, to everyday acts of defiance in diaspora, it explores the weight of struggle as both personal and collective. Featuring a rare interview with Palestinian revolutionary Leila Khaled, a conversation with Françoise Vergès, photo essays by Maen Hammad, Amal Al-Nakhala, Nader Bahsoun, Sarah Kontar, and Hannah La Follette Ryan, and reflections on sound, memory, and political devotion—this issue makes clear that resistance is not always loud.

Al Hayya is a bilingual platform for radical publishing, grounded in intersectional feminist resistance and transregional solidarity. It centers literary, visual, and sonic works rooted in the Arab world and its diasporas, and extends towards allied struggles and voices historically pushed to the margins.
