Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
