The book As for After... is a book of testimonies from independent artists and cultural actors that includes private testimonies written by more than 80 Syrian and non-Syrian independent artists and actors. This book aims to monitor the most important experiences of independent Syrian cultural work between 2011 and 2016 through the eyes and pens of its practitioners and recipients inside and outside Syria. The certificates in this book are distributed across all creative and intellectual fields, including creative writing, performing arts, music, photography, research and design, as actress Hanan Haj Ali presented the book. The book As for After is a special initiative by Ettijahat that aims to sculpt and present a free and honest image of Syrian cultural work, produced and received through multiple media.
The novel tells the events and details of the period of Ottoman rule at the moment of its collapse. As well as the echoes of the dangerous transformation at the gates of World War I. The heroes are Jamal Pasha and his Jewish lover, Sarah, surrounded by tough men, spies, adventurous officers, and wandering soldiers seeking to push the Arabs, who live in the bitterness of nostalgia of the past, out of their land, their history, and their era.
