How does poetry alleviate the friction between the individual and the institution?

For this online event, poet/ performer Farah Chamma will be joining artist Jumanah Bawazir in shifting the conversation of Bawazir’s exhibition “Permanent Transience” from the generation that fled, to the generations that grew up in the new settled destinations. In between performances of Chamma’s own work.
