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.
Rubaiyat bin Qalala.
Poetry is sweet words that nourish the heart and conscience of those with good taste. I present to you some verses.
If time had been long, it would not have forgotten you
May my heart be kind and may you make it happy
For years of my life I have been giving you
And in the middle of the heart you have the most beautiful treasures
If the nights keep you away, I will be afraid
The path of your connection, my thought, I am chanting it
I stayed up all night, my dear, and wrote about you
Express my feeling with the most beautiful word
