BGSMCS doctoral researcher Philip Geisler developed a cultural program to mark the 20 years that have passed since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. After a screening of short films by Bassim al-Shaker and Sarah Munaf, the Trickster Orchestra, which Philip co-directs, will present a requiem that builds on the poetry of Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, Sinan Antoon, and Anwar Shaul and incorporates the tuning systems of al-Farabi into contemporary, trans-traditional music.
