Art Action Culture Events Symposium

 

This is a gathering for all creatives and that means everyone! Artists (graphic, plastic, video, dramatic), performers and writers, poets, producers, dancers and musicians. How can we respond creatively to the genocide and the struggle of the Palestinian people for liberation? What is happening? What do we want to happen? Come and join the conversation.

 

How does artistic practice connect to direct action? How can artists committed to support for Palestinians and Palestinian artists extend to wider publics? How can we work and interact across art disciplines? How can we deal with silencing, victimisation and cancelling?

 

The conversation will be facilitated by Taghrid Choucair-Vizoso, joint CEO of Shubbak Festival. It will have intervention/contributions from Hassan Abdulrazzak - this will be in the form of a short reading of a new play provoked by events in Palestine, read by Ruth Lass and Sara Masry plus - also from Hamja Ahsan who will describe the struggle engaged in when the DOCUMENTA exhibition to which he contributed was attacked. There will be a few other creative interventions. Come and make one!
