An audio-visual session focused on Palestinian liberation, featuring archival footage and sound from the Majazz Archive.
We will explore alternative archival practice as a decolonial methodology and form of creative resistance and preservation of cultural heritage, focusing particularly on the practice of non-academics, members of the global south and other marginalised groups.
You will be immersed in the audio-visual archive and able to walk around throughout. In doing so, you can discover more about the Palestinian struggle, as expressed through music and sound.
CW: Genocide, war, violence, oppression, colonialism, trauma
