About Ahmed Alnouq, Welcome to the Fringe
We Are Not Numbers brings the stories of young people from Gaza to the Town Hall stage in a 60-minute spoken word event. Writer Ahmed Alnouq shares writing that spans over ten years, drawn from people born under Israeli occupation and blockade who have endured significant struggles and losses. Founded to give voice to the youth of Gaza, the project offers an insight into past and present generations of Palestinian leaders, artists, scientists and scholars, and imagines where things might go from here.
Why see this show?
A rare opportunity to hear voices from Gaza delivered directly by the writer who gathered them. This is not journalism from a distance but personal testimony spanning years — urgent, human and necessary.
