Desiring Beings, Dissident Chorus

Conversation
Athena Farrokhzad (poet, playwright and translator); Meena Kandasamy (poet, author and translator)
Moderator: Natasha Ginwala (Artistic Director, Colomboscope and Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry co-curator)

 

Athena Farrokhzad and Meena Kandasamy read from their recent literary works that invoke the concept of ‘poethics’ as a reparative force amid authoritarianism, environmental urgencies and exile. Curator Natasha Ginwala will then engage them in a conversation about writing as a realm for composing and translating desire, revolutionary action and communal ethics.
