Description
iniva and down river road invite you to join us in a poetry gathering at Stuart Hall Library, facilitated by Brian Muraya. We invite you to take part in an opening of the ear.
The workshop will include a reading of two poems, inviting participants to translate and disseminate them.
“The title, ‘Against Witness’, is a two fold risk: on the one hand, it looks as if a bridge, an attempt to walk away from the available and seemingly seamless song of ‘witness’ — a word so coded in ‘our’ failing, faltering, filtering rhetorics; on the other hand, what it may be is the gruff of getting even more closer, so much so that we may be against the things once believed to absolute, necessary, in the assembly of our tongues, in our sentences.”
Against Witness is part of Braiding Sessions, a partnership programme between Stuart Hall Library, iniva and Karara Community Library, down river road.
The project explores the various practices that cultural workers, curators, librarians, and administrators engage in their communities to promote engagement with their knowledge resources and safeguard against memory loss and historical revisionism.
Welcome. Karibuni.
The project is supported by the British Council through the UK/Kenya Season 2025 Catalyst Grant.
