The Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies is proud to present the film, After Munich, a 2019 documentary about the aftermath of the Munich Olympic massacre of eleven Israeli athletes in 1972 and how four women's lives have been changed forever.

Alia Mossallam attempts to tell the stor(ies) of the Dam as refracted through the politics, hopes and losses of those who sacrificed their lives to build it, and those communities who were sacrificed and displaced for it to be built.

The event combines both lecture and performance styles, and will conclude with a public Q&A segment.

Concordia's Writers Read series presents author Sheila Heti in conversation with Sina Queryas, senior lecturer in the Department of English and Writers Read director. A reading followed by conversation.

This lecture attends to the world-making capacities of abolitionist struggle, focusing on past and present Black-led freedom-making practices that at once challenge the features of multi-sited anti-Blackness and bring forth new forms of lived justice.

The panel will address diverse and situated forms of communication and assertion expressed through bodies, communities and inter-generational contact.
