In a breaking world, books are a labour of love. After 6 years, #TheWallsHaveEyes is (almost) here! It is a global story of border surveillance, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm.

For those of us who know what it is to plot a pathway out of the margins, this wasn’t a performance, it was a sermon.

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose…

You don’t have to hold neutrality in the face of people’s cruelty.

Your heart is worthy of expression in words, tears, art, prayer, and protest.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

Indiscriminate and relentless attacks in #Gaza must stop now.

Assaults on hospitals and medical staff must stop now.

Restrictions on aid and the siege must stop now.

Forcible displacement must stop now.
