SUMMARY:Refugee Week: Writers on Connecting through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:To mark Refugee Week\, Renard Press authors Ann Morgan and Diane Samuels are joined by Rodaan Al Galidi and Haitham Hussein to talk about writing about migration\, moving between cultures and how storytelling can connect us across political\, social and physical divides. \nAbout the speakers: \nAnn Morgan is an author based in Folkestone\, whose first book Reading the World grew out of her quest to read a book from every country. Her latest novel\, Crossing Over\, tells the story of an encounter between a woman with dementia and someone recently arrived on a small boat across the Channel. \nDiane Samuels has been writing professionally for over thirty years. Work includes award-winning play Kindertransport\, produced in the West End\, Off-Broadway and all over the world\, and most recently Waltz With Me\, published by Renard Press. \nRodaan Al Galidi is a writer based in the Netherlands since 1998. Born in Iraq and trained as a civil engineer\, as an undocumented asylum seeker he did not have the right to attend language classes\, so he taught himself to read and write Dutch. He is now a well-known poet and novelist in Dutch; The Leash and the Ball (trans. Jonathan Reeder) is his most recent novel that has been translated into English. \nHaitham Hussein is a Syrian Kurdish novelist. He has published three novels\, and works as a freelance journalist and literary critic for major Arab newspapers including Al-Arab\, Al-Hayat\, Assafir and Al Bayan. In 2015 he founded Alriwaya.net\, a website focused on the Arabic novel.

SUMMARY:Shubbak Festival: THINK-SYNC-ARABI
DESCRIPTION:When Disability collides with economic\, social and political struggle\, how can the arts\, coaching and leadership theory inspire and instil a different reality for Deaf and Disabled leaders? \nIn February 2023\, 8 Deaf and Disabled artists and cultural producers from Palestine and Jordan gathered to sense-make their way around the barriers and opportunities that mark the interpersonal\, cultural and political terrains they navigate daily as leaders in the region’s first ever Sync Leadership programme delivered in partnership with Shubbak Festival and Art to Heart in Palestine. \nJourney with our 8 artist activists in this film in which they reflect\, chew\, laugh\, rage and choose hope in an overwhelmingly ableist cultural sector\, wherever the non-normative body finds itself in the world. \nThe event will be online. \nArtists: \nRawan Barakat \nSafaa Abbasi \nSharehan Hadweh \nHala Mahfouz \nShaima’ Mohammad Ali \nDiana Saleh \nJeries Thalgiah \nYara Qwareiq

SUMMARY:Shubbak Festival: Art and Disability Under Siege
DESCRIPTION:We commune in this virtual conversation\, to centre Disabled artists and cultural practitioners from Jordan and Palestine as they discuss the challenges and opportunities of living and working at the intersection of Disability and geo-political instability. \nFour participants from Sync Arabi\, a leadership programme funded by the British Council and run jointly by Sync Leadership\, Art 2 Heart – Palestine and Shubbak earlier this year\, share their unique insights into not only surviving but thriving through what can feel like an impossible layering of circumstances. Living and working at the crux of multiple oppressions\, from the personal to the political\, they take us against the current. Moving away from binary narratives around the Disabled body being either helpless or superhuman\, this conversation delves into a more nuanced understanding of the disabling nature of deeply entrenched structures\, and how cultural resistance becomes a tool for abolition in local contexts. \nDr. Dina Kiwan & Dr. Maha Shuayb will be in conversation with  Sync Arabi participants Rawan Barakat\, Yara Qwareiq\, Diana Saleh\, Jeries Thaligah. \nThis event will be held online in Arabic with captioning in English.
