Liptzin (Producer), Jessica Underwood (PAIS), Alison Cooley (Classics), and Lara Ratnaraja (Cultural Consultant). Followed by a drinks reception. StonebreakersLink opens in a new window (Link opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window) (Awen Films | 2022 | 70' | USA | Italy) chronicles the conflicts around monuments that arose in the United States during the George Floyd protests and the 2020 presidential election. Weaving together observational sequences and interviews filmed across the country, the film explores the shifting landscapes of American monumentality by looking at statues as they’re contested and removed, neglected landmarks being reclaimed, and new forms of memorialization emerging for the first time. The portrait of a nation forced to reckon with the darkest chapters of its history, Stonebreakers interrogates the links between memory, myth and political action. For Free Tickets please register here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/modernlanguages/news/events/stonebreakers/ This event is supported by the Warwick Institute of Engagement, the Humanities Research Centre, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Cultures, the Department of History and the Department of Politics and International Studies.

PAIS IftarPAIS Common RoomJoin the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS) community for an Iftar gathering on Wednesday, March 13th from 6pm. Staff, students, and their families of all backgrounds are warmly invited to attend. An Iftar is the evening meal with which Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. This is the first time that PAIS has organised an event of this nature and it would be wonderful to welcome PAIS staff alongside our students. The event will be hosted in the PAIS Common Room, located on the top floor of the Department of Politics and International Studies. Everyone from across the entire PAIS community is warmly invited to join us for the Iftar. We will provide separate spaces for prayer in the building. The menu is halal and is prepared by a local Muslim caterer. |
