Safer Spaces Exchange ft. Karman

Liverpool-based project Where are the Girlbands and Oxford’s YWMP present a one-night-only live event: Safer Spaces Exchange Featuring Karman, taking place at Future Yard on Thursday 11th September.

The night features a headline performance from Karman, a boundary-pushing songwriter known for confessional and genre-resisting work. They will debut new songs from an upcoming conceptual album in collaboration with Bolton-based visual artist Charlie Currin, in a site-specific, choreographed performance.

Also performing is Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani, Director of YWMP. Zahra’s set is accompanied by the screening of a new short film reflecting on her journey from young person engaging in community music in Oxford, to leading YWMP today. The film traces her practice through the lens of her lived experiences as a second-generation Irish-Iranian immigrant in Oxford. Zahra will also introduce a trial safer spaces policy developed through national consultation and co-created with young people.
