“a system which starts at the heart” offers a parallel programme of works and resources, taking place upstairs at 14 Wharf Road, to contextualise the historical and contemporary situation in Palestine.
This Sunday we will host a public programme of events to round off this artist led initiative. The day will start with a collective poetry reading lead by The Gaza Reader (a collaboration between Bidoun, Artists Against Apartheid, Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG), and the Kamel Lazaar Foundation) and read by Artist Fundraiser contributing artists. Followed by a participatory performance by Palestinian sound artist and musician Bint Mbareh. A panel discussion with organising artists Rana Begum and Sonia Boyce, together with programme curators Rahila Haque and Nabila Abdel Nabi. The day will end with a special screening of films curated by Ramallah-based Fana’ collective which features the work of contemporary Gazan filmmakers Shereen Abdelkareem, Moayad Abu Ammouna and Mahmoud AlHaj, and a seminal 1973 documentary by Mustafa Abu Ali, curated by Ramallah-based Fana’ collective.

The programme’s title, “a system which starts at the heart”, is an excerpt from Etel Adnan’s epic poem The Arab Apocalypse (1980), written between 1975 and 1980 against the backdrop of escalating violence in Lebanon. Adnan grounds us in a world consuming itself before its greatest witness: a solar force that will arguably outlive humankind, but which also lives within each and every one of us, bound by empathy, rage, grief and hope.
