The Performance and Communities REG and UoB’s Decol Collective  were very proud to co-present our first collaboration event with our special guest speaker, Laura Hanna. Laura talk was entitled ‘Representation and Collective Creation: The Work of MENA Arts’, and centred on her work with MENA Arts UK (a not for profit arts organisation for UK-based professionals who are connected to the MENA+ region (Middle East, North Africa and surrounding region). The session ended with a Q&A about her work and our work.

    This collaboration between the Performance and Communities REG, UoB’s Decol Collective, and Laura Hanna to delve into the theme of ‘Representation and Collective Creation: The Work of MENA Arts’ sounds like a promising and enriching event. It’s commendable to see initiatives aimed at shedding light on underrepresented voices within the arts community, particularly those connected to the MENA+ region. Hanna’s expertise and insights on this topic likely provided valuable perspectives for attendees, fostering deeper understanding and dialogue. The inclusion of a Q&A session further facilitated engagement and exchange, allowing participants to delve deeper into the subject matter. Moreover, the event’s potential to inspire discussions and perhaps even elite academic essays on the topic underscores its significance. Overall, it appears to have been a thought-provoking and worthwhile event, and the availability of a recording ensures that its impact can extend beyond the immediate participants.
