When all is uprooted, does one stay to fight... or take flight? What of those who have always lived on the move, away from enclosures, family and field, census and consensus, monoculture and monolingualism, law and lord? What does it mean to live on the run?

For Art Month Sydney 2022, Firstdraft has partnered with Arab Theatre Studio to present The Only Thing Left is to Leave, a night of live artworks, performances and installations by Nicole Barakat, Hajer, Hussein Kahil, and Antoine Razouk and Jason Crowe.

This event is the second iteration of an international commissioning series supported by the Keir Foundation, and will also feature artworks by Eddie Abd, Roy Dib, Morgan Hogg, and Chrystèle Khodr, co-developed by Firstdraft and Beirut Art Center.

Each of these interdisciplinary artists interrogates what paths are trodden and social formations woven, what common practices are formulated and networks of sustenance formed, when we move.
