Balfour Reparations
Balfour Reparations
This performance lecture examines the UK's colonial legacy in Palestine,
focusing on Arthur James Balfour, Prime Minister (1902-1905) and Foreign
Secretary (1916-1919), and his role in denying Palestinian political
rights. Utilising speculative choreography and Afrofuturism, Saleh
intertwines history, fiction, and fantasy, drawing inspiration from
archival materials. Set in 2045, the lecture reflects on a fictive apology
letter issued by the UK in 2025, promising reparations to the Palestinian
people. The audience become members of the reparations' evaluation
committee created on the 20th anniversary of the apology and are invited
to participate in the performance. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
