Archival Resistance

Please note: this event will be held in person at the Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow.

An audio-visual session focused on Palestinian liberation, featuring archival footage and sound from the Majazz Archive.
We will explore alternative archival practice as a decolonial methodology and form of creative resistance and preservation of cultural heritage, focusing particularly on the practice of non-academics, members of the global south and other marginalised groups.
You will be immersed in the audio-visual archive and able to walk around throughout. In doing so, you can discover more about the Palestinian struggle, as expressed through music and sound.

CW: Genocide, war, violence, oppression, colonialism, trauma

All ticket sales from this event will be donated to the Majazz Project .

Mo’min Swaitat is a London-based Palestinian artist, theatre and film maker who trained at the Freedom Theatre (Jenin) and arthaus (formerly LISPA) in London/Berlin, specialising in the Jacques Lecoq method of physical theatre, mask work and mime. He is the founder of Majazz Project, an archival platform and record label focused on reissuing Palestinian cassette and vinyl albums and field recordings, with a particular focus on sounds from the 1960s-1990s.
