26 May, 6.30-9.30pm Venue: Goldsmiths University Student Union
From the author’s Tales to Tell blog:
We’re delighted to announce that Gaza: Beneath the Bombs is having a night out in London, where we’ve linked up with community artist Claire Pouget Wright, for an evening with all sorts of things happening.
It will run 6.30-9.30 at the Goldsmith’s University Student Union, and involve an exhibition of Claire’s creations, book readings and signings from us, and then a performance of The Palestine Monologues. This piece “explores the day-to-day experiences of life under Israeli occupation, and also highlights some of the turning points individuals have had, when they have seen past the dominant and conflicting narratives perpetuating the conflict.”
Claire is an artist and contemporary jeweler doing her final research project in partnership with Voices Beyond Walls, a participatory youth media organisation, to deliver and evaluate their 2010 summer programme, taking place in the West Bank and Gaza. The fundraiser aims to cover the basic costs to carry out this project such as materials, travel etc.
