Nourhane Kazak is a Lebanese-Palestinian editor and writer from Beirut. She studied modernist literature and poetry at the Lebanese American University and the University of Exeter. For the past three years, she has been working on digital rights in West Asia and North Africa, focusing on issues related to surveillance, hate speech, content moderation, and freedom of expression. Nourhane is also a performance poet curious about working with digital media and the body as vessels of communicating the nameless and unintelligible. She joins CCAS to explore how performance/poetics could inform advocacy for social justice as individual and collective sites of resistance.
