met M-A Collective en Fleur Khani

Pay what you can

Syllabus Reading Group #16: M-A Collective

Voor deze editie van de Syllabus Reading Group nodigde de Iraans-Belgische kunstenaar Fleur Khani (deze weken in residentie in Kunsthal Gent) het M-A Collective uit: een collectief van Iraanse vrouwelijke kunstenaars die zich verenigden via de Woman Life Freedom beweging, na de moord op Mahsa Amini op 16 september 2022 door het Iraanse islamitische regime.

We lezen samen een aantal fragmenten uit "Reading Lolita in Tehran" van Asar Nafisi (2003). Nadien luisteren we naar een audio-opname van het MA-collective: een audiomonument voor Mahsa Amini. En Atiyeh Manavipour, één van de leden van het collectief, draagt een eigen tekst voor.

Voorbereiding is niet nodig, de teksten worden op de dag zelf gedeeld.

Syllabus Reading Group

We organiseren de Syllabus Reading Group telkens op de 1e donderdag van de maand, van 17.30 tot 19.00 uur in de Syllabus-ruimte in Kunsthal Gent. De Reading Group komt voort uit het werk 'Syllabus' van de Ierse kunstenaar Jesse Jones: een monumentaal gordijn met de arm van Silvia Federici dat ruimte creëert voor (activistische) bijeenkomsten. Uitgangspunt is het samen lezen van teksten van Silvia Federici en andere feministische auteurs.

Praktisch
  • Live gathering in Syllabus (mogelijkheid om online aan te sluiten)

  • Voertaal: Nederlands en Engels
