Reading Session | Agat Sharma
15 July 2024
Join us on the 21st of July and the 3rd of August in Veem’s Studio with Agat Sharma’s reading sessions: Landing Sites.
During the sessions participants will be working together with artist, educator and theatremaker, Agat Sharma, on exploring a diverse set of materials. Through stories, archival documents and theoretical texts the Land Sites sessions delve into various strategies that could be employed in order to understand and shift our relationship with the land we inhabit and perhaps even collectively imagine new ways of relating to land.
Agat Sharma (b. 1984, Jaipur, India) is an artist, educator and theater maker. His work is a study of the emergence, evolution and erasure of the relationship between land and the body. His practice expands the notion of what a song and a story can be and employs them as tools for evoking postcolonial imaginaries. He is deeply influenced by ‘folk’ and pre-modern ways of thinking about ‘Theater as a place for transformative collective imagination’.
The readings will be in English and are free to attend for all by purchasing a free ticket. You don’t have to prepare anything before the sessions. There will be tea, coffee and cookies.
Landing Sites was conceptualised at a residency supported by the Over Het Ij festival.
