Southern Voices has created an exhibition, From the Shadows of War and Empire: perspectives of colonised people on World War One.
The exhibition is open to the public from Tuesday 19th April – Friday 28th April 2017 at the ZArts Centre, 335 Stretford Road, Hulme, Manchester M15 5ZA
2014 marked 100 years since the start of World War One (WW1). This was the first global conflict, with war between the European Empires drawing in well over 100 countries.
The exhibition examines the involvement of the British colonies (India, West Indies, Nigeria, and East Africa) in WW1 and the impact the war had on those countries including European imperialism. It illustrates the devastating losses on the colonies’ own ‘home fronts’, and the subsequent development of the independence movements.
The workshop will explore our exhibition and research with the aim of offering an objective and balanced account of the war and its impact on colonised people in the Global South than is currently communicated or known.
Its been a while since we posted to the website but Southern Voices is back online and developing new work, opinions and critiques.
There are some technical issues with the website (as well as a new look) which we hope to iron out over the next few days.
Stay tuned.
Some stories hit the headlines. Some headlines only tell half the story (or lies) and some never make the headlines or middle pages or even the back page. This can be either good or bad. |
The ‘Kony 2012’ vs ‘Lord’s Resistance Army’ headlines (or not) is a recent example of this. This workshop will look at some of the stories behind the headlines and behind the ‘no lines’; reflect on why this might be so and the pros and cons of this.It will draw on lessons we can learn from them and explore what people are doing to challenge injustices and explore what we can do together.
We are interested in hearing your which will be more focused on developing ways methods and strategies for going forward.
This will be an interactive and participative workshop.
Venue: The International Society, 327 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PG
