The sound installation is a BIPOC only space.
As part of Postcolonial Neighbourhoods, Gabs Dumfahrt Pérez, Selina Masakeni, Lena Luvia Mehta, and Mariyama Mutala explore how structural colonialities shape everyday urban life and how possibilities for repair, alternative imaginaries, and collective becoming emerge through encounters within racialized communities. Drawing on lived experience, sensory inquiry, and atmospheric exploration, they experiment with alternative forms of knowledge production grounded in more-than-human relationality, care, and healing.
From 21– 23 July, Speaking Into Existence invites BIPOC visitors into an atmospheric, multi-sensory and multi-modal sound installation attuned to the fragile assemblages through which memory, relation, and possibility persist. Join us on 21.07. for an opening featuring embodied practices, experimental interventions, and musical input.
Collaboration & Support The event takes place in the framework of Postcolonial Neighbourhoods, a project within the transdisciplinary DFG-funded Research Unit Collaborations: Assemblages, Articulations, Alliances
