Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
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.
