Arundhati Roy won the Booker with one novel—but never stopped challenging power. Her memoir Mother Mary Comes to Me, on Mary Roy, is now shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction. A voice still questioning the world.

Ik vond t al een vreemd klinken. Niet passen bij #ArundhatiRoy. En het blijkt ook niet te kloppen.

Son muchos los motivos para admirar a #ArundhatiRoy
La escritora es una mujer que sueña con un mundo más justo. En sus libros de no ficción comprobamos hasta qué punto se ha implicado en diferentes causas desde la pasión y la rabia.
Leemos sus memorias.

George Orwell famously argued that "the opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude".
Wenders is complicit. The #Berlinale acts as pro-genocide soft power by silencing discussions on #Palestine.

#ArundhatiRoy is right, not Wim Wenders – here are eight films that have changed #politics
From ‘honour’ killings to nuclear war, some screen works have led directly legislative action – despite what jury head Wenders suggested at the Berlin #film festival […]
Linda Loew on Facebook Applauding Arundhati Roy for standing fiercely by her convictions against genocide in Gaza, and withdrawing from the Berlin Film Festival in outrage over Wim Wenders' comments "that filmmakers "have to stay out of politics." Roy called it “jaw-dropping” and "a way of shutting down a conversation about a crime against humanity even as it unfolds before us in real time.” Shame on Wim Wenders! Solidarity with Arundhati Roy!

Necesitamos más Arundhati Roy y menos Wim Wenders:

Wim Wenders has made some brilliant films including "Perfect Days."
I admire his art yet I believe he's dead wrong on this point. Separating art from political expression is both a fool's errand and a dangerous path to silencing dissent.
Kudos to #ArundhatiRoy

#ArundhatiRoy a condamné des "déclarations inadmissibles faites par des membres du jury du festival du film de Berlin lorsqu'on leur a demandé de commenter le génocide à Gaza". #Gaza #Film #Festival #Berlin
A brave woman shows, what millions of Germans can't express with own words in public without being punished.
#ArundhatiRoy declines the invitation to the #Berlinale, while #Berlin continues to stand by #Netanyahu and his war criminals.
Apparently, we live in a time of apolitical art, apolitical science, and dumb politics devoid of art and science. #ArundhatiRoy #FrancescaAlbanese #FreePalestine
#ArundhatiRoy: «Sono disgustata dalla posizione su #Gaza, non vado a Berlino

“I am shocked and disgusted,” #ArundhatiRoy wrote, adding that she believed “artists, writers and filmmakers should be doing everything in their power to stop” the war in #Gaza.
“Let me say this clearly: what has happened in Gaza, what continues to happen, is a genocide of the #Palestinian […]
"Filmmakers have to stay out of politics" : what a silly remark!
