Poets Liberation Front: Jason Allen-Paisant, Francesca Nadin, Jamal Mehmood

Aiming beyond catastrophe: refusal to surrender

At this point, amid the myriad crises of the present moment, we want to reflect on the writers role in ensuring a people never surrender their spirit. Political imagination as taking aim beyond the target; sometimes that looks like Octavia Butlers Afro-Futurism and sometimes it is the PFLPs Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine. Meanwhile, Bayo Akomolafe suggests that in order to break the death spiral, the world needs to embrace the trickster. So how does literature help us find new ways of aiming beyond the horizon?

This salon will attempt to be a timely antidote against defeatism, against empire and against forgetfulness.

The salon is a space to actively engage in current resistance literature emerging from our political landscape. Tickets are on a sliding scale solidarity rate, please pay honestly.

This event is created and hosted by lisa minerva luxx in partnership with Shubbak Festival.

Poets Liberation Front is an eight-part series generously supported by Arts Council England.

Accessibilité

The venue is a one minute walk from Holborn underground station and 10 minutes walk from Chancery Lane and Tottenham Court Road underground stations. The venue is wheelchair accessible for manual wheelchair users and those with mobility requirements via a lift. However, please note that the lift is small and cannot accommodate electric wheelchairs. We recognise the limitations of access at this venue. The decision to host the event here was made thoughtfully to anchor in a space centring Palestine (Palestine House), while ensuring remote access is available for those who cannot attend in person including our kin with chronic health conditions. If you cannot attend the venue due to access, please contact us (info@shubbak.co.uk) to arrange your online presence in the space. Shubbak is continuously learning and reflecting on how to embody access practice and create more inclusive spaces while navigating the realities of ableist systems, structures and architecture.
