Untranslatability: From Palestine to Hungary

October 15–16, 2017

Participants: Reem Shilleh (Subversive Film), Noor Abu Arafeh, Lara Khaldi, Eszter Szakács

With artistic contributions from Palestine, the project looks at the socio-political situation in Palestine, in dialogue with that of Hungary. While also highlighting an artistic and political discourse that is not prevalent in Hungary, the project considers civic self-organization and the role of artists and intellectuals in facing oppression. The two-night event examine how the strategies of resistance, survival, and subversive acts in Palestine have changed from the propaganda films of the 1970s-1980s to today’s most recent, video-based contemporary art pieces.

Curators: Lara Khaldi és Szakács Eszter
