The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
IN OUR LIFETIME, is an anti-imperialist resource, edited by Hussein Mitha, produced by Arika for Episode 11, featuring poetry, essays, questions, prompts, letters and works of anti-colonial imaginary.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
