The Facts
The Southbank Centre will host a conversation between authors Ta-Nehisi Coates and Tareq Baconi, moderated by Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik. Coates presents the paperback launch of his international bestseller 'The Message', while Baconi offers a first look at his new political treatise 'What Now: On Palestine, Freedom, and Our Global Future'. The discussion will explore the struggle for justice in Palestine, its global implications, and strategies for decolonisation in the 21st century.
The Signal
The event is presented in cooperation with the Palestine Festival of Literature and in association with the Service95 Book Club, founded by Dua Lipa. The Southbank Centre, the UK's largest arts centre, provides a prominent London platform for these urgent literary and political conversations, linking a bestselling American author with a Palestinian scholar to address one of the most contested global issues. For collectors and cultural observers, the partnership with a celebrity-backed book club signals an effort to reach broader, younger audiences beyond traditional literary circles.
