NCLA: Palestine Futures

Designer, Architect, Poet, Filmmaker: four leading Palestinian creatives join us to discuss realities and representations of Palestine’s past and present.

Date/Time: 23 May 2024 18:00 - 23 May 2024 20:00

Venue: Culture Lab, Newcastle University

Designer, Architect, Poet, Filmmaker: four leading Palestinian creatives join us to discuss realities and representations of Palestine’s past and present, and to concentrate on the futures we might together imagine into being through their radical and important interdisciplinary work.

The event will be hosted by Preti Taneja.

Sharing readings, short films, landscape plans, blueprints, and design briefs, we explore how these fields play a vital role in shaping our minds in a Palestine under occupation, but also how they have the potential to liberate our imaginations beyond circular arguments of conflict, security, and terror, towards a liberated, inclusionary and just society for Palestinians going forward. With Danah Abdulla, Zena Agha, Mahdi Sabbagh and Larissa Sansour chaired by Preti Taneja. For further information and to book a place: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/ncla/events/
