Syllabus Reading Group #16: M-A Collective

For this edition of the Syllabus Reading Group, Iranian-Belgian artist Fleur Khani (in residence at Kunsthal Gent these weeks) invited the M-A Collective: a collective of Iranian women artists who united through the Woman Life Freedom movement, following the assassination of Mahsa Amini on 16 September 2022 by the Iranian Islamic regime.

Together we read several excerpts from "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Asar Nafisi (2003). Afterwards, we listen to an audio recording by the M-A Collective: an audio monument to Mahsa Amini. And Atiyeh Manavipour, one of the members of the collective, reads a text she wrote.

No preparation is needed, the texts will be shared during the event.

Info
  • Live gathering in Syllabus (possibility to join online)

  • Language: Dutch and English

Syllabus Reading Group

We organise the Syllabus Reading Group on the 1st Thursday of each month, from 17:30 to 19:00 in the Syllabus space at Kunsthal Gent. The Reading Group stems from the work 'Syllabus' by Irish artist Jesse Jones: a monumental curtain with the arm of Silvia Federici that creates space for (activist) gatherings. The starting point the joint reading of texts by Silvia Federici and other feminist authors.
