It reads: "This paper explores how creative practices can contribute to decolonising resources within community contexts. Drawing on my ongoing research into arts-based participatory action research, community organising / learning, radical philanthropic processes, participatory grantmaking (Hannah Paterson), community-centric approaches to fundraising in the UK, and internationally, I will unpack what decolonising wealth (Edgar Villeneuva) and resources can look like, and how artists and cultural organisations can have a meaningful role in shaping broader understandings of decolonising. 14 May, 6PM, Rehersal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London."

It reads: "Mojisola Adebayo, Queer quests for 'The Normal Life': from occupied Palestine to the stars. Mojisola will share insights and background to the play script and film she is currently writing entitled, resisters, which focusses on creative non-violent resistance to occupation, war and genocide by women and queer people in Palestine and beyond. Mojisola will also discuss her latest stage production, STARS, which won the OffWestEnd Award for Best New Play after premiering at the ICA, London and is coming back soon to BrixtonHouse Theatre in June 2025. STARS explores the politics and power of pleasure through the story of an old woman who goes into space in search of her own orgasm. Time permitting, Mojisola will also screen the short film, STARS which had its premiere at Berlinale Film Festival this year. 30 April, 3PM, online only."

It reads: "Shane Boyle, Marxism and Theatre Ecology: The Metabolic Performances of Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa. This talk looks to demonstrate the usefulness of Marxist ecological thought for performance studies by examining several recent works by Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa that engage with the colonial histories of resource extraction in West and Southwest Africa. These performances—staged atop abandoned mines and oil pipelines—give aesthetic form to what Marx called the “metabolic rift” between humanity and nature. 26 March, 6PM, Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London."

It reads: "This project, for which Patrick was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, is based on his experience serving on the commission charged with conducting community-based oversight of the San Diego Police Department. It is both ethnographic – providing a perspective on the inner workings of policing in a large city – and theoretical – using the tools and methods of theatre and performance studies to understand police practice and to argue for an abolitionist future. 19 March, 6PM, Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London."
