SUMMARY:Pertti’s Choice popup
DESCRIPTION:Pertin Valinta\, or Pertti’s Choice in English\, is Finland’s first social enterprise owned by people with learning disabilities.\nIt was founded by the members of the punk band Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day to support the careers of disabled artists. It will open its doors for a three-day popup in London’s Shoreditch on 8-10 August this summer. The Pertti’s Choice popup will showcase Finnish and British Outsider art\, alongside a vegan café with music performances and products available to buy. \nThe art element of the experience will include: \n\n\n\na VR exhibition\, Inside Outside Finland\, which takes the viewer to four Outsider art environments in Finland\nportraits by visual artist Tanya Raabe-Webber\,\ndrawings by Pertti Kurikka’s alter ego Kalevi Helvetti\nphotographs of Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day international tours.\n\n\n\nThe popup will see gigs by Kalevi Helvetti\, the groove jazz artist Kalle Salonen\, singer Eeva Lusenius\, Rudewolf\, DJ Miika and the Brighton band Zombie crash. \nThe team from Pertti’s Choice will be accompanied by staff members of the much loved IPI café in Helsinki’s Kallio district. Their mission will be to serve quality coffee\, while introducing a model for employing disabled people. \n“There is great interest in the UK towards the Finnish model\, and this popup aims to develop international networks of disabled people”\, says Emilie Gardberg\, director of the Finnish Institute in London. The institute is bringing the popup to London together with its partners. \nOne of the main aims of Pertti’s Choice is to create a model for facilitating the employment of disabled people in the cultural sector. At present\, artists’ earnings can affect benefits so a successful artist may even be in danger of losing their supported housing. The situation in Britain is similar\, and many activists in the sector are working to find a solution with models like Pertti’s Choice. \nFind out more here.\nAbout the Finnish Institute in London\nThe Finnish Institute in London is an expert on Finnish culture and society\, working in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The Institute supports the internationalisation of Finnish contemporary art and helps artists\, researchers and social and cultural actors to create international networks.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Politics of Palestinian Multilingualism
DESCRIPTION:Nancy Hawker will be in conversation with Deborah Cameron on the occasion of the launch of her new book The Politics of Palestinian Multilingualism: Speaking for Citizenship.\nThis event is free but booking is essential. Book as soon as possible. \nAbstract: \nIn the governing institutions of Israel\, Arabic is suppressed. This practice crystallised in the early years of the state. Also\, Arabic-speakers who also speak Hebrew make linguistic choices that result in the avoidance of Arabic in situations where Jewish Israelis are also present. These two elements form the sociolinguistic habitus of the Palestinians and other Arabs in the area controlled by Israel. When speaking Arabic\, to give their propositions authority\, their discursive strategies mobilise multilingual repertoires\, including codeswitching and borrowing\, for rhetoric effect and style.The analysis moves away from scholarship that has been concerned ‘language endangerment’ which has channeled concerns about political problems. The Palestinian multilinguals are performing the aspirations of an emergent middle class elite. On the political stage\, this elite challenges the ethnorepublican political structures of Israel\, as well as ethnonationalist campaigns\, with different inhabitations of citizenship that envisage liberal equality\, dignity and autonomy. Under conditions of late capitalism\, multilingual language skills are re-packaged as marketable resource: this creates value\, but in a contested way\, with ambivalent opportunities. With new evidence from recent and historical political discourse\, this book is about how speakers of an institutionally marginalised language engage with the political system multilingually. \nSpeakers: \nDr Nancy Hawker is a Research Fellow for AKU-ISMC’s Gover​nance Programme. Dr Hawker has a DPhil in Oriental Studies from University of Oxford and an MA in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from SOAS. After publishing Palestinian-Israeli Contact and Linguistic Practices (Routledge\, 2013)\, she took on a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowshipat the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Oxford University. She has previously worked at Amnesty International’s International Secretariat in London. \nProf Deborah Cameron is a sociolinguist who currently holds the Murdoch Chair of Language and Communication in the Faculty of Linguistics at Oxford University. She is the author of numerous books\, including Verbal Hygiene (1995)\, Good To Talk (2000)\, The Myth of Mars and Venus (2007)\, and most recently\, with Sylvia Shaw\, Gender\, Power and Political Speech (2016). She regularly comments on linguistic topics on BBC radio\, and presents research on language and gender for a general audience through her blog Language: A Feminist Guide.
