About 

طلياوي (يثق في انه قد نشرت له اعمال عديدة في دوريات هامة و لكنه) استيقظ ليجد بجانبه كراسة تحمل اسمه، و تخبره عن شيء كان لديه يدعى الذاكرة. لا يتذكر ما هي. و من ثم ليست لديه سابقة اعمال الا السطور السابقة. اما الباقي، فقد سقط ضمن اوراق الشجر الذي سقط الخريف الماضي. و احترق مع الكتب التي اضرمت فيها النيران. و دفن ضمن النفايات التي اختلطت بالاجسام. لعلنا اليوم نتنفسه.

اهتمامات: المجال العام، الاسكان الاجتماعي، الحق في المدينة، تنمية المجتمع

 

Taliawi (who believes he has been widely published in various important periodicals) has awaken to find beside him a notebook with his name over it, telling him about something that he had called Memory. He cannot recall what it is. And hence, does not have a relevant bio other than the previous lines. The rest, has fallen among the fallen leaves of a tree in the fall; burnt with the books that have been set to fire; buried with the waste that has mixed with bodies. May we now be breathing them.

Key Interests: Public Space, Social Housing, Right to the City, Community Development

سنغير قلب العالم. ان لم نستطع، سنداوي جروحه. لن نعش كثيراً لنرى وجهه و قد تبدل، و لكن سنقاتل لنرى ملامحه المبهمة تتشكل في خيالنا.

We will change the heart of the world. If we cannot, we will heal its wounds. We will not live for long to see its face alternating, but we will fight to see its features forming in our imaginations.
