Creating Interference: making art, developing methods, re-imagining histories/memories
Creating Interference is an international film programme, symposium and network of researchers, artists and critics who creatively respond to and critically engage with memories and historical narratives. 
Our aim is to develop, explore and identify creative strategies to disrupt knowledge conventions and dominant discourses of the past. Creative works are seen as catalysts for change to knowledge about the past for justice and transformation in the present. To this end, we prioritise a de-colonial approach that necessitates a differently configured relationship with the past which overturns and decentres European hegemonic discourses of knowledge. 
           On Monday 18th June from 5:00pm, a film programme will take place at the Regent Street Cinema followed a discussion and launch of the Creating Interference network. Our exciting and exclusive film screening includes work by leading artists Zineb Sedira, Erika Tan, Keith Piper, Naeem Mohaiemen and Wangechi Mutu.
           On Tuesday 19th June, starting at 9:30am, a day long symposium Creating Interference: making art, developing methods, re-imagining histories/memories will take place at Little Titchfield Street campus, University of Westminster (UoW). Key note speakers who will join us are Christopher Cozier, artist, curator and co-director of Alice Yard art project space, Trinidad and Dr. Karen Salt, an interdisciplinary scholar in transnational American Studies and Afrodiasporic studies, University of Nottingham. Other contributions include performances and presentations by artists, curators and scholars Annie Jael Kwan, Ayesha Hameed, Barby Asante and Hannah Catherine Jones.
We invite you to join us in June to start debating, engaging with and exploring a range of artistic and scholarly works that inform and challenge us to ask questions.
