We are honoured to present Cities of Cultures: Sharing Practices of Storytelling between Casablanca and Coventry, a four-month digital residency with Laura Nyahuye, Mounir Neddi, Soufiane Hennani, and melissandre varin. During this residency, cultural practitioners investigated themes of translation, intimacy, correspondence, place-making, and transmissibility.
Join us for the launch of Letters, a sound documentary assembling the voices of four people sharing experiences, ideas and reflections – at distance. In a time of pandemic, with travel rendered impossible, and in the context of reinforced borders, we look for our own ways to relate to each other at the intersection of traditional and recent forms of interactions: letters were typed on computers, typewriters, or handwritten, including multiple languages, translation and objects…
During this one-hour live session, Laura Nyahuye, Mounir Neddi, Soufiane Hennani, and melissandre varin will talk about their practices and experience of the residency. They will share their sound documentary for the first time, and invite questions from the audience to inform our reflection on storytelling.
Cities of Cultures: Sharing Practices of Storytelling between Casablanca and Coventry is an International Changemakers Bursary Project led by Lou Sarabadzic and Kenza Sefrioui. The International Changemakers Programme is a British Council project in partnership with Coventry City of Culture Trust.
