The Narrating Global Conflict Conference was a memorable event and a timely and fitting launch for HUM:Global - University of Copenhagen. With around 80 guests at the university campus and over 200 at UN City, we shared multiple perspectives on the narration of global conflict with talks and debates including: 🔊Denmark and the Nordic region in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine 🔊 the treatment of the nightmares of trauma-affected people with refugee backgrounds 🔊 imaginings and reproductions of the future by Syrians who are moving into new terrains 🔊how images are used and reused in imaginaries of world-making 🔊how journalists, poets, writers and filmmakers use narration in making sense of conflict and how this impacts audiences and them as employees, entrepreneurs and individuals 🔊the environmental and human impact of global conflict 🙏🏽 A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and contributed to making this a dynamic and memorable occasion. In particular to Rasmus Glenthøj, Mette Sandbye, Kristian Handberg, Andreas Bandak, Ida Poschmann, Solveig Gade, Jonathan Metzl, MD, PhD, Jan Pêt Khorto, Hugh Macleod and Katja Kjar-Levin for sharing your perspectives from academia, NGOs, journalism and as writers. 🙏🏽 Special thanks to Trine Kandborg for the permission to use your artwork for the conference poster, to our keynote speaker Shehan Karunatilaka for the engaging keynote and company, to Liz Jensen for the wonderful discussion with Shehan, and to our partners at Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, Asian Dynamics Initiative, Centre for Culture and the Mind, Nordic Humanities Center 🙏🏽Thank you for the collaboration on the UN City Copenhagen docUNight screening of Big Water, to keynote speaker Jorge Moreira da Silva, to Nataliya Popovych for the partnership, coordination of the panel, and not least the invaluable perspectives prior to and during the discussion, Kvitka P. for such fluent translation work on stage, to the filmmakers Ghanna Mamonova and Anna Tsygyma for your dedication, bravery and courage, and not least for making the trip to Copenhagen; to Najam Ul Assar for facilitating the event, to Noa Valentin Katz Søgaard (FKA Flemming Johannesen) for the fluent moderation, to Veronika Wilhelm for the partnership and excellent communication of the event, and to Flemming Splidsboel Hansen and Tim Lardner for the honest, open and frank debate together with Nataliya Popovych - it was indeed a powerful discussion to end the conference with. 👉Read more on the Ukraine House perspective on the docUNight event here: https://lnkd.in/d_WnyKkf 👉Read more on the UN City perspective on the the docUNight event here: https://lnkd.in/d-iRXMyt 👉 List of all conference presenters: https://lnkd.in/dKtJM9e9 #narratingglobalconflict #humglobal #asiandynamics #nordichumanitiescentre #cultmind #uncity #docunight #GlobalConflict #narration #conference #interdisciplinarity #diversity #differentperspective
