SUMMARY:Our Home: Voices from Afghanistan by Magdalena Moursy in collaboration with Ariana Abawe
DESCRIPTION:For Refugee Week 2024\, join Magdalena Moursy and Ariana Abawe at Libreria Bookshop for a special showcase of Voices from Afghanistan – an audio feature that shares different stories from Afghans around the world. \nIn response to Refugee Week’s theme this year ‘Our Home’\, we invite you to sit for a collective listening session that fosters a deeper connection to the Afghan experience with live performances of Afghan Rubab music and poetry. And experience some Afghan hospitality with tea and snacks provided by Ariana’s mother who runs Kulcha Kafe. \nListen to the personal stories of four women – a judge\, a yoga activist\, a fashion activist\, an artist – and a man who is a refugee rights campaigner\, as they reflect on their lives under the Taliban regime\, their experiences of displacement\, and their hopes and fears for the future of their homeland. \nAs we approach 3 years on since the Taliban re-occupied Afghanistan in August 2021\, it feels to many Afghans that the world has turned their backs and gone silent. This event offers an opportunity to gain a deeper and more personal understanding of the complex realities faced by Afghans throughout their lives and today. \nJoin us in support of the Afghan community who continue to show resilience and courage\, hoping and working for a better future for their home\, Afghanistan. Voices from Afghanistan was produced and edited by Magdalena Moursy\, in collaboration with British-Afghan journalist Ariana Abawe\, who supported as research and cultural consultant. This project has been funded by Arts Council England. \nFree event. \nImage credit: the artists.

SUMMARY:Voice Notes by Compass Collective and nottingham trent university
DESCRIPTION:Come and experience the ‘Voice Notes’ is an international art project exploring the role of the telephone in experiences of exile. Featuring recorded phone calls left by young refugees and asylum seekers from around the world\, the exhibition investigates displaced voices\, creative networks\, transnational communication\, and different modes of talking and listening across cultures.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been co-created with over fifty young people who have fled war\, violence\, conflict and persecution and yet who continue to offer stories of solidarity and hope. At the heart of the installation are multidirectional ultrasonic speakers that are positioned to create a network of intersecting telephone messages. As visitors move around the gallery\, they tap into stories of home and belonging\, landscape and loss\, and communication and connection. In turn\, visitors are invited to shape new ways of thinking about sanctuary by contributing their own voice notes as part of our evolving telephonic soundscape.\n\nVoice Notes has been co-created with over 50 young refugees and asylum seekers living the UK and in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The exhibition is curated by poet Dr Sarah Jackson (Nottingham Trent University) in collaboration with acclaimed sound artist and founder of the Space21 international festival Hardi Kurda\, and refugee arts organisation Compass Collective.\n\nThe project is supported by international partners\, including New Art Exchange\, Counterpoints Arts\, Refugee Roots\, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature\, Slemani UNESCO Cities of Literature and STEP. It is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.\n\nDr Sarah Jackson is Associate Professor in Modern and Contemporary Writing. She teaches on the BA English\, BA Creative Writing\, MA Creative Writing and MRes English Literary Research programmes\, and supervises PhD students working in contemporary literature and creative writing. An award-winning poet and academic\, Sarah publishes widely on 20th and 21st century literature\, literary theory and creative-critical ecologies.\n\nPart of the exhibition curated by Counterpoints Arts\, with the support of Yorkton Workshops.
