SUMMARY:Conference: Patterns of Struggle and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to be presenting an online conference\, ‘Patterns of Struggle and Solidarity’\, in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) Postcolonial Studies Centre. The conference aims to explore the practice and study of cultural activism from any discipline across postcolonial studies. \n\n\n\nThe engagement with cultural activism has long been a prominent concern in postcolonial studies; in our current moment\, this focus is rife for exploration and\, crucially\, interrogation. How do academics fit into the field of cultural activism? How do academics and activists conceptualise patterns of struggle and solidarity? What role does postcolonial research play in supporting and amplifying the voices and work of cultural activists\, in particular in the fields of literature\, art\, film\, craft and performance art? How do cultural activists and performers engage with postcolonial studies? Papers and panels will involve conversations between researchers\, cultural activists and practitioners. \n\n\n\nOn Thursday\, the authors Tsitsi Dangarembga and Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi talk about their latest work and their shared experiences with publishing and readership across Africa\, Europe and North America; and the PSC’s writer-in-residence Eve Makis is in conversation with the nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize Sevgül Uludağ\, the Turkish Cypriot journalist and peace activist. On Friday\, scholars present their research in postcolonial studies on wide range of topics\, followed by a performance of the Dalit rapper Sumit Samos. The events on Saturday include a roundtable discussion on craft\, activism and ethics\, a creative writing workshop\, a conversation with the Palestinian culinary activist Mirna Bamieh and a screening of Reginald Campbell’s Tolerance (2013). \n\n\n\nOrganised by NTU’s Postcolonial Studies Centre and convened by Dr Nicole Thiara\, Dr Amy Rushton\, Dr Jenni Ramone\, Midlands4Cities funded PhD researcher Thomas Lockwood-Moran and PhD researcher Purnachandra Naik. \n\n\n\nConference schedule\n\n\n\nThursday 17 June\n\n\n\nIn Search of the Missing\, 4pm – 5.30pm\n\n\n\nSevgül Uludağ is a Turkish Cypriot journalist and peace activist.
