With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
— Arundhati Roy, War Talk
