Held in conjunction with the opening of the project Frictional Conversations – The Script by yasmine eid-sabbagh and organised by If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, this day-long gathering brings together guests whose practices engage with sound, piracy, anti-colonial solidarity, archiving, and critical fabulation.

The programme is divided in two parts. The study session in the morning is guided by Rayya Badran and Alia Mossallam. The afternoon programme starts with a conversation between yasmine eid-sabbagh and Layal Ftouni and continues with three invited guests: Rayya Badran, Alia Mossallam, and DJ Lynnée Denise. The conversations address the role of sound and pirate radios in forging anti-colonial solidaries, focusing on Palestine and other transnational struggles. The speakers will also talk about the place of speculative imagination and critical fabulations as methods of interventions in archives, and storytelling against the grain of colonial histories. Finally, the panel attends to the entanglement of visual, narratological, and sonic registers in the transmission of the affective and political grammars of solidarities.
