Switzerland Celebrates Yemeni Voices in Texts
Bern, Switzerland
A book launch event titled "In Remembrance's Touch" was held in the Swiss capital, Bern. The book compiled poetic texts from Yemeni poets, in addition to artwork by the Swiss artist Dr. Esther Herschi.
The book aimed to introduce Yemeni culture and highlight a brighter aspect, away from the news of war and destruction. During the event, both Dr. Al-Ham Mane and Michaila Wendt read the poetic texts by "Zain Al-Abidin Al-Dabibi, Maliha Al-Asadi, Mohammed Abdo Al-Abssi, Saba Hamza, Firas Shamsan, Lara Al-Zarasi," accompanied by a cheerful atmosphere.
This was complemented by the performance of the artist Brigitta Schildknecht, who delighted the audience with her vocal performances in Arabic, as well as songs from Swiss heritage.

Aber ohne Hoffnung ist keine Veränderung möglich. Ohne die Überzeugung, dass ein nachhaltiger Frieden möglich ist, wird es keinen Frieden geben. Und ohne in die Kinder des Jemen zu investieren, ist eine bessere Zukunft nicht möglich. Und genau darum geht es im Gedichtband "Berührung hat Gedächtnis", welcher 6 junge jemenitische Poetinnen und Poeten vorstellt. Ihre Gedichte zeugen von ihrem unnachgiebigen Geist.
