We warmly invite you to the screening of Yeliz Shukri’s film Missing Fetine. Set in Cyprus during the British colonial period, the film sheds light on networks of marital exchange in the Levant. Amid the ruins of this exchange, Pembe Mentesh manages to forge new relationships with her lost family in Palestine.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s director and protagonist. In the spirit of building transnational alliances, the event is co-organized by YALLA in Nicosia and the Decolonial Practices Group in Munich. The discussion will take place in a hybrid format in both locations simultaneously.
About Decolonial Practices Group
The Decolonial Practices Group is based primarily at the Rachel Carson Center, Munich, comprising academics at various stages in their careers, including PhD and master's students. The focus extends beyond the theoretical realms to actively engage in decolonization efforts through praxis-oriented approaches. They are united by their commitment against all forms of oppression. They strive to be more than just a discussion forum and their goal is to actively organize, motivate, and engage in meaningful actions. The group facilitates and participates in various initiatives that promote the process of decolonization. The group offers a space where theory meets action, driving tangible change, and fostering a deeper understanding of decolonial practices.
