Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was born in Poland and then moved to Germany. She was an outstanding representative of the European socialist movement.She was a passionate critic of capitalism, drawing strength for radical action from her critiques.Rosa Luxemburg’s fate is inseparably linked to the development of the German labour movement, the fights among its various tendencies, and ultimately its splintering. She was a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, a co-founder of the Spartacus League and then of the Communist Party of Germany.

Historically, Rosa Luxemburg and Mohamed Ali Hammi were both in Germany at the same time, in the first decade of the 20th Century. They were both wandering the German streets in a pursuit of their respective fights for equal rights. Today, a century later we bring back these two historical figures to inspire us, so we can meet, discuss and understand the values they believed in.
When Rosa Meets Mohamed Ali, is not only a remembrance of two figures who shaped a part of our modern history but, it is also, a tribute to their legacy and an attempt to follow their leads to continue the fight.
The aim is to organize meetings and discussions around four of the books published by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation- Bureau for Academic Cooperation and the publishing house Dar Med Ali.
