Music, Spoken Word & Practice Research
Disclaimer: Ages 18+
We invite you to a showcase of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú practice research reflecting on Palestine and associated themes of human rights, identity, culture, loss, dispossession, imperialism and settler colonialism. The event will explore the connections between politics and art and demonstrate how geopolitical issues can be ethically and innovatively represented in poetry, fiction, drama and music. Some of the contributions will explicitly grapple with the question of Palestine while others will be more figurative and indirect in their approach. We can look forward to a diverse range of voices – including Jewish and Palestinian staff and students – and a spectrum of tones, textures and tropes, from satire to elegy, protest song to dramatic monologue. Moreover, the event will be a productive interface between the university and the wider community, with practitioners from both scenes connecting, conversing and collaborating.
Brought to you by staff at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú in association with Star & Crescent, the University of Sanctuary and Unite the Union.
