INHIYAR (BREAKDOWN)

Curated by Shirine Saad
With support from Columbia University’s Incite Institute
Visuals by Tracy Chahwan

This event brings together leading artists in experimental and underground Noise practices, deploying poetic practices to resist and denounce politics of total destruction. Trans Punk Poet Cyborg Andrea Abi-Karam, musician and dancer Leyya Mona Tawil, dancer and scholar Nora Alami, singer Israa Shalaby, and DJ and writer Shirine Saad will explore the power of BREAKDOWN after the end of the world.

As we stare at mass death and the plunder and erasure of native ecologies and histories, we dance in the ruins, alchemizing life, love and resistance. Artists from the Arab world and diaspora forge new communities in DIY and underground spaces, inventing languages to defy devastating grief. Reimagining ghazals, muashahat, maqamat, queer erotica, sacred cosmologies, sci-fi utopias and dystopias, intoxicating Sufi and Zar rituals, and the deep legacy of militant art throughout the region, remixing Punk, Techno, Rap, Grime, echoing protests from Gaza to Khartoum, Tehran, and Cairo, amplifying noise and fatal pollution, they articulate radical poethical visions amidst apocalypse and despair.

Geoeconomic Fragmentation and the World Economy
2025-04-01 12:30 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Riverside Room, 121 Bay State Road, Boston, MA, 02215, United States
Join us for a talk with Shekhar Aiyar on geoeconomic fragmentation, its global economic impact, and the role of “connector” countries.

This talk will offer an introduction to the newly emerging topic of geoeconomic fragmentation (GEF), with an emphasis on some of the work undertaken at the International Monetary Fund. The talk will describe the channels through which GEF is expected to impact the global economy. It will present estimates from recent studies on potential global and regional output losses. It will discuss the measurement of geopolitical distance between country pairs and show how this affects international transactions, with a special focus on foreign direct investment. Finally, it will discuss the idea of “connector” countries (vertical and horizontal) that might stand to benefit from a splintering of the global economy into rival blocs.

He is a Visiting Professor at the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), a former Visiting Scholar at Johns Hopkins University and a former Non-Resident Fellow at Brueghel.
