Dr Anne-Marie Fortier opened the programme with a paper on recent constructions of multicultural Britain. This was followed by a talk and reading given by the novelist Fadia Faqir and by Zineb Sedira talking about her photography and filmmaking. The event was well-attended and there was a lively discussion of the issues raised.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line-hor\"><\/div>\n<h2><em>&#8216;Mother Tongue&#8217;,\u00a0<\/em>Zineb Sedira, 2002<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1054 alignright\" title=\"Mother_Tongue\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Mother_Tongue.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Mother_Tongue.png 400w, https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Mother_Tongue-300x84.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>Featured in the event,<em>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/eascfa\/feminist_art_base\/gallery\/zineb_sedira.php?i=691\" target=\"_blank\">Mother Tongue<\/a><\/em> is a video triptych, recalling the oral tradition of storytelling, passed along the matrilineal chain as a means of preserving cultural identity from one generation to the next. \u00a0The piece explores translation within cultural identity, portraying three generations of women (a mother, a daughter and a grandmother).
