Time: 6.30pm
Entry: Ksh 500

Dance piece : Unknown

A dance performance by Adam Chienjo in support of #GoDownTransforms.

About
Can we value what we don’t know? Is it possible to experience that which we cannot perceive? Can we then
touch the soul of the unknown, can we make contact with it, could we listen to it? Can we feel the texture of the
unknown? How does it move? From what direction does the unknown come from and to which direction does it
go? Can we describe the unknown as still? Is it silent or is there sound and resonance? Is the unknown within
time or is time within the unknown? To what extent does what we know contribute to the experience of the
unknown?

Proceeds from ticket sales go to fundraising for the New GoDown.

Space provided by The Alchemist Bar!

About Tunisia: An Arab Anomaly
The Arab Spring began and ended with Tunisia. In a region beset by brutal repression, humanitarian disasters, and civil war, Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution alone gave way to a peaceful transition to a functioning democracy. Within four short years, Tunisians passed a progressive constitution, held fair parliamentary elections, and ushered in the country’s first-ever democratically elected president. But did Tunisia simply avoid the misfortunes that befell its neighbors, or were there particular features that set the country apart and made it a special case?

In Tunisia: An Arab Anomaly, Safwan M. Masri explores the factors that have shaped the country’s exceptional experience. He traces Tunisia’s history of reform in the realms of education, religion, and women’s rights, arguing that the seeds for today’s relatively liberal and democratic society were planted as far back as the middle of the nineteenth century. Masri argues that Tunisia stands out not as a model that can be replicated in other Arab countries, but rather as an anomaly, as its history of reformism set it on a separate trajectory from the rest of the region.

About the Author
Professor Safwan M. Masri is Executive Vice President for Global Centers and Global Development at Columbia University. He holds a senior research scholar appointment at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). A scholar of the contemporary Arab world, Masri’s work focuses on understanding postcolonial dynamics among religion, education, society, and politics. His writings on education and current affairs have been featured in the Financial Times, Huffington Post, and Times Higher Education.
