Shivaike Shah of Khameleon Productions will lead a presentation about the Uprooting Medea tour, introducing the Medea project and discussing the development and adaptation of Khameleon’s work since its original conception in Oxford. Khameleon’s Medea questions the pertinent topics of race, belonging and identity through centering these themes which are
already prevalent in Euripides’s original. The presentation will explore our creative practice of elevating global-majority artists through multimedia forms including theatre, film, music and poetry, and will give an insight into Khameleon’s upcoming short film project (to be released later in 2022).
Join us for a journey through this groundbreaking project and a wide-ranging conversation about the ancient myth of Medea and its relevance for our world today.
Sponsored by the Brown Arts Institute; co-sponsored by OSU Department of Classics, OSU Classics Coffee Hour, OSU Department of English Graduate Program, Lord Denney’s Players, OSU Popular Culture Studies Program, and the Humanities Collaboratory.
