SUMMARY:"Music to Stir the Soul" with Yasmine Seale
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual evening of music and conversation inspired by the exhibition Reflections: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa. \nThe event kicks off with a performance by Maya Youssef\, composed in response to the display and recorded in the gallery. Youssef says\, ‘This will be the first time where I compose in reaction to a work of art as part of my ‘Finding Home’ album. It is a journey through feelings of nostalgia and memories and essences of home\, both within and without\, where art interweaves with music.’ She plays with Elizabeth Nott and Al MacSween. \nArtist Samira Abbassy will speak about her drawing Unravelling\, which is currently on display in Reflections and is one of the inspirations for Youssef’s piece. Writer Yasmine Seale will also discuss muwashshahat  – multilingual love poems of Al-Andalus\, sung by women\, which had a powerful influence on the development of lyric poetry in Europe. \nThe event will be introduced and chaired by curator Venetia Porter. It is part of the public programme accompanying Reflections: contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa at the British Museum (17 May – 15 August)\, supported by the Contemporary and Modern Middle Eastern Art (CaMMEA) acquisitions group. \nTo attend this event via Zoom\, book here to secure your place.

SUMMARY:Hoda Barakat: Lost Voices of the Arab Spring @edbookfest
DESCRIPTION:In this event the acclaimed Lebanese writer Hoda Barakat discusses her new novel\, translated into English by International Booker-winning translator Marilyn Booth. Voices of the Lost\, which won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2019\, is built around imagined letters written by migrants or asylum seekers from the Arab world – missives which sadly never reached their intended recipients. Each one\, falling into the hands of another asylum seeker\, prompts that person to begin a letter of their own. The result offers moving\, sometimes painful insights into the lives of migrants – not only the betrayals and agonies but also\, at times\, the hope and faith that things will improve. Barakat joins us today from her home in France to discuss Voices of the Lost with British Council Co-Director Literature\, David Codling. \nThis is a live event\, with an author Q&A.

SUMMARY:Iman Mersal: The Limits and Pleasures of Egyptian Womanhood
DESCRIPTION:Iman Mersal is a major figure in international literature\, an Egyptian poet whose work is characterised by her ardently experimental style. Her latest book\, Fee Athar Enayat Al Zayyat (In the Footsteps of Enayat Al-Zayyat)\, was published in 2019 and was named as the winner of the prestigious Sheikh Zayed Book Award earlier this year. Inspired by the work\, life and death of Egyptian writer Enayat Al-Zayyat\, Mersal writes the portrait of a woman rallying against a society framed by nationalism and fear\, where individualism is something to be quashed. There are parallels between Mersal’s own experiences as a writer who came of age in 1990s Egypt and her protagonist who was trying to get published in the same country 60 years ago. Mersal discusses her astounding work of nonfiction\, contemporary Egyptian womanhood\, and how translation takes words ‘to new languages and homes’ with poet and writer Mona Kareem. \nThis event is 4:15-5:15 p.m. BST; apologies\, WordPress only allows start and end times on the half hour. \nThis is a live event\, with an author Q&A. Book your spot at the event here.
