Countertime

reading and listening session
with Lama El Khatib
hosted by Remove the Dot (Saja Amro & Wassila Abboud)

Join us for an evening of reading and listening with Remove the Dot (Saja Amro & Wassila Abboud) and Lama El Khatib ! In this session we will gather around audiovisual material and texts in an attempt to critically examine the mechanisms of colonial time and the ways in which those in Palestine and Lebanon maneuver and resist it.

Drawing on the audiovisual material as well as texts from Nasser Abourahme and Helga Tawil-Souri among others, we’ll ask questions around the regulated time of the prison, the suspended time of the checkpoints in the West Bank, the deferred returns in Lebanon, and the broader architecture of colonial temporality -- and even more importantly resistance to it-- across the region.

Please register by sending an email to rmvthedot@gmail.com . For your participation, we suggest a donation between €3-8 .

Lama El Khatib is a writer and cultural worker. She studied architecture and art history at the American University of Beirut and is currently pursuing a masters in philosophy at the Freie Universität in Berlin. Her work focuses on the spatial infrastructures of colonialism as well as questions of intellectual inheritance/debt.
