Tareq Baconi & Saleem Haddad: Fire and Flood
Saleem Haddad, Tareq Baconi, Mohamed Tonsy
Venue NW 28 Aug
18.45 1hr

Both Tareq Baconi’s Fire in Every Direction and Saleem Haddad’s Floodlines consider the generational impacts of family myths and global conflicts – the former through an intimate memoir, and the latter through a fictional tale influenced by his family stories. Examining queerness, art, displacement, and the relationship between the Middle East and UK, join them for a thoughtful and personal discussion about memories, estrangement, reconnection, and the meaning of home. Chaired by Mohamed Tonsy.
