About this listen

 This podcast documents 12 months of conversations, dinners, and gatherings - often around a dinner table as part of the exhibition Courses for Dis-Course(s). The conversations ask what it means to make in a world that is constantly demanding cultural, gendered and ethnic performance. Is it possible to work beyond the confines of reductive identity art? How do we avoid tokenised representations of identities and resist further contributing to a view of identity as innate and fixed rather than socially constructed and in flux? How do we complicate the narrative of British Asian women artists?Roo Art

    Episode 6: Perceptions - Arab Jews and Black Asians
    Sep 17 2024

    Episode 6 was recorded the same day as Episode 5. We began this session reading Ella Shohat's On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings. Many of us discussed multifaceted identity and what it means to be mixed race or belong to an ethnicity that does not fit neatly into stereotypical colonial or politicised categories and agendas.
