Screening Shifting the Centre: Anticolonial Ways of Seeing – Film Screening with Orsod Malik

BOOK HERE

Join International Curators Forum (ICF) and iniva at the Stuart Hall Library for a special screening of Edward Said’s ‘The Idea of Empire’ (1993), of which an excerpt is being shown in the Shifting the Centre: Anticolonial Ways of Seeing exhibition. The film will play from 6pm-7pm followed by a 30-minute discussion at the end.

We will consider how Edward Said’s work can help us make sense of Empire’s continuation and its contemporary articulations.

This is an in-person event with limited spaces and registration is essential, but we will be live streaming the film and the Q&A.

Accessibility

It is free to attend and everyone is welcome. If you have any access requirements or questions, please contact us in advance by emailing Beatriz Lobo (Curator) beatriz@iniva.org and we will do our best to accommodate.
