Fab review from @guardianmusic @guardian for #womanatpointzero @shubbakfestival @bushraelturk @RoyalOperaHouse theguardian.com/music/2017/j…
Woman at Point Zero review – compelling music from unfamiliar sources as Arab voices thrill

Woman at Point Zero review – compelling music from unfamiliar sources as Arab voices thrill

Scenes from a new operatic adaptation of Nawal El Saadawi’s novel about an Egyptian prostitute were the centrepiece of this Shubbak festival concert

Just read #TheLightlessSky by @gulwalipassarlay - a devastating, inspiring and stunning account of his journey as a young boy from Afghanistan to the UK. Heartbroken for those risking their lives to seek safety and even more for a system that allows such cruelty to be legal.

I am lost for words. This gov lacks compassion and empathy. They are anti refugees and humanitarian values. Don’t give a dam about human rights & refugee laws.There are far too many hostile laws, policies of the U.K. keeping people seeking asylum in limbo & danger. We need action

Wrote a piece about how we made DALIA, for today’s Guardian theguardian.com/music/2022/j…
‘Anyone – you, me, everybody – could be Dalia’: Garsington’s refugee community opera

‘Anyone – you, me, everybody – could be Dalia’: Garsington’s refugee community opera

Performed by amateurs and professionals, Dalia – the tender story of a displaced girl who finds acceptance through cricket – is a rebuke to the UK’s increasingly cruel immigration policy
