Join us for a screening of our experimental film Assembly Time. Portraying the cognitive dissonance, dissociation and disturbances within the metropole. Where neoliberalism has ensured we are ruled by a politics of division and alienation. But where we as a unit resist in the fight for collective liberation.

The evening comprises three performances - one in Arabic, one in English and one in Arabic and English. The first performance by Badia Obaid is 'The First Ever Female Poet' - the story of Enheduanna, priestess of the Moon God and the daughter of King Sargon of Akkad. In around 2300 BCE, Enheduanna wrote hymns in the ancient Sumerian language which document her devotion to the goddess Ishtar at a time of civil war and general unrest.
