Syrian Voices is an oral history project that illuminates the struggles and triumphs of refugees from Syria who have resettled in the U.K. The aim is to create a lasting digital archive of film and zoom-recorded interviews using community and participatory history frames, representing perspectives which are often over-looked in the archival record and integrating aspects of emotion and affect.
This event will begin with a short film on one of the participants in the project, Muradi Bakir, followed by a brief discussion of the project by Mehreen Saigol and Angela Flynn and a round-table discussion and Q&A session with Muradi Bakir, Elisabeth Bolorinos and Meryem Kalayci.
