Panel Discussion with Kamilya Jubran, Hazem Jamjoum, Tarek Beshir and Gülçin Özkişi

The panel brings together musicians, scholars and archivists to reflect on the legacy of the 1932 Cairo Congress from a contemporary MENA perspective, as part of Beyond 1932. Moderated by Rim Irscheid, panelists Kamilya Jubran, Hazem Jamjoum, Tarik Beshir and Gülcin Özkişi discuss how the Congress continues to shape ideas of authenticity, notation, preservation, and musical modernity today.

Drawing on creative practice and research, the panel will explore the political, colonial, and archival dimensions of this historic gathering and its ongoing impact on music-making and knowledge production in the region.

The panel takes place on Thursday 9 April, 4–5.30pm in the Pyramid Room at King’s College London (War Studies Department), followed by a drinks reception.

The event is free and open to all, registration is required.
