Rinsing: Constructing fiction from autobiography
Amrita Hepi & Bakani Pick-Up (Australia & Zimbabwe/Wales)
Mon 20 Oct, 6–8pm

The body as work and destiny. What do I have to say? Could I use fiction to help it? Where does autobiography begin, enter, exit, end?
This workshop investigates the possibilities of constructing fiction from autobiographical elements and the idea of the divided self.

In this three-hour workshop, the broom is used as a central axis connecting the archetypes of the witch and the housemaid.

Black Repetitions
Ahamefule J. Oluo (USA)
Fri 24 Oct, 3–4pm
Free
In this lecture-performance, Ahamefule J. Oluo weaves personal and familial narratives of race and music with live demonstrations of the constructions and technologies of sound, instrumentation, and electronic looping from their performance, The Things Around Us.
Through a hybrid artistic and educational experience, we are witness to an unexpected telling of the story of Black music and its political, social, and cultural reverberations.
