The Nightmare Sequence is a searing response to the atrocities in Gaza and
beyond since October 2023. Heartbreaking and humane, it is a necessary portrait
of the violence committed by Israel and its Western allies.Through poetry and
visual art, Omar Sakr and Safdar Ahmed capture these historic injustices, while
also critiquing the role of art and media – including their own – in
this time. Born of collective suffering and despair, their collaboration
interrogates the position of witness: the terrible and helpless distance of
vision, the impact of being exposed to violence of this scale on a daily basis,
and what it means to live in a society that is actively participating in the
catastrophic destruction of Arabs and Muslims overseas. With a foreword by
Palestinian American poet George Abraham, The Nightmare Sequence is an
insightful work of testimony that also considers how art is complicit in Empire.
This transcendent book invokes the power of poetry and art to shift heart...
