Al Hayya #4

Issue Four of Al Hayya is a powerful and unflinching exploration of resistance—within the home, across borders, and deep in the self. Tracing threads of political struggle from Gaza to diasporic spaces, this issue amplifies acts of defiance both quiet and resounding. With a rare interview with Palestinian revolutionary Leila Khaled, insights from Françoise Vergès, and photo essays by Maen Hammad, Amal Al-Nakhala, Nader Bahsoun, Sarah Kontar, and Hannah La Follette Ryan, this issue confronts the weight of oppression while celebrating resilience. Through reflections on sound, memory, and political devotion, Al Hayya #4 reveals that resistance takes many forms—intimate, intergenerational, and enduring.
