SUMMARY:The World as Ruins: Mizna Futurities Issue Launch Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Mizna Futurities Issue launch and symposium is an invitation to collective speculation on relationalities of people\, land\, futurity\, and catastrophe in the twenty-first century. Taking the form of a symposium\, but abandoning the emphasis on lectures for a multidisciplinary assemblage of performance\, conversation\, and workshopping\, this event will comprise readings\, performances\, artist talks\, discussions\, workshops\, and experiments in collective gathering and speculation. \nThe afternoon will feature poetry readings and conversation with George Abraham\, Dana Alsamsam\, Yi Wei\, and Pinar Banu Yasar; a screening of the short film على حافة البحر/ At the Edge of the Sea by Dena al-Adeeb and Sholeh Asgary; and an artist talk by ACT lecturer Raafat Majzoub (SMACT ’17) in conversation with Barrak Alzaid. \nThis symposium will be a public proposal of other\, possible worlds we may step into\, transforming the space of the ACT Cube into an imaginative space for thinking\, feeling\, and creating our way into an unfolding world\, a futurity unsettled by the catastrophes of the present. \nThis event is organized by Aram Kavoossi (SMACT ’26). \nRegistration is required; the event is free and open to the public.
