SUMMARY:Sonic Solace #3 : Auditory Alchemy / Soundwalk
DESCRIPTION:Auditory Alchemy is created to guide participants through a series of sonic experiences and meditative prompts that will lead them to reflect on different layers of self and environment sounding and listening in an urban context. Participants will engage in exercises that encourage awareness of their inner and outer selves\, exploring personal\, cultural and collective auditory experiences. \nFacilitated and conceptualized by tracy september and Siavash Namehshiri\, the city of zurich is used as a canvas to paint an auditory environment through short recordings that will be used for a collective listening. \nPlease note that this soundwalk requires an audio recorder and headphones. If you have one\, please bring it with you. If you would like to participate but do not have the equipment\, please email us at info@migrart. We will provide a limited number of the necessary equipment. \n  \n \n\nSiavash Namehshiri / @siavash.namehshiri is a Kurdish Composer\, musician\, collaborative Sonic proposer from Iran\, based in Zurich. over the years\, he has been exploring improvisation and contemporary electronic music. Over the years\, he has engaged in collaborative projects and experimented with different art contexts in studio and live performances and studied Electroacoustic Composition at Art University in Zürich. Through his sonic creations\, Siavash channels his memorial experiences using music and sound to express and process specific moments of displacement in his works. Siavash maintains a keen interest in the intersectional dimensions of sound and collaborative practices.\n\n  \n \n\ntracy september  is a South African musician\, performer\, DJ and music researcher based in Zürich\, Switzerland. With influences of jazz\, traditional Xhosa singing and electronic experimentation\, tracy works around themes of memory\, spirit and protest\, with a particular passion for improvisation. For tracy improvisation is a way to surrender attachment to ideas and trust the capacity of one’s intuition. It is an invitation to let go. tracy uses her voice\, electronics\, texts\, archive materials and field recordings\, to tell stories that are deeply rooted in ritual\, community and communion. Ritual as a transformative tool; community as the foundation for the co-creation of existence; and communion as a means for intimate fellowship.

The act of m/othering – as a queer\, radical and collective practice and a communal responsibility for caregiving – is imperative to building transformational change. tina omayemi reden has invited Serena Owusua Dankwa and Ivy Monteiro to share their m/othering ways\, their caregiving practices and ideas on community spaces.\n\n\n\nWith\nIvy Monteiro\nSerena Owusua Dankwa\ntina omayemi reden\n\n\n\n \nIvy Monteiro ( Ivy is an educator and developer of practices and performative roles in Dance\, Music and Theatre Performance\, for small and big stages. They are a natural shapeshifter\, re- imagining and re-conceptualizing femininity\, gender\, social and race through (dis)identification from a post-colonial perspective. Ancestrality and Spirituality are reshaped and envisioned in queer futuristic pieces\, where the artist reclaims and questions their space in our apocalyptical future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSerena O. Dankwa recently returned to academia as a lecturer and postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Social Anthropology in Basel. She holds an MA in African Studies from SOAS in London and earned her PhD from the U. of Bern.

Macht.Diversität: Critical Diversity Literacy im Hochschulraum (2021).\n\n\n\n\n\n\ntina omayemi reden is a Zurich-based artist\, cultural worker\, organizer and lecturer. She primarily works in collaboration and is involved in collectives that focus on themes of collective care\, intergenerational exchange\, social justice\, and community building. Central to her practice are moments of deep listening and the act of making visible the intricate networks of relationships\, power dynamics\, resistance\, longings\, and desires. As part of the collective FUBU she has been organizing a variety of gatherings and solidarity events – from parties and dinners\, to intergenerational exchanges and seasonal rituals\, performance nights\, nature walks and collective harvesting.

SUMMARY:Talk Talk Talk #2 : Commitment\, Care\, Community
DESCRIPTION:  \nTALK TALK TALK #2 \n*Commitment\, Care\, Community* \nIn the second edition of our public panel discussion and podcast series TALK TALK TALK\, three reseachers and activists navigate the paradox of promise through the construction of „safety“ by sharing their formative experience in queer and feminist circles. They look into what strengthening a balance between accountability\, discomfort\, and Community-Care would entail. Also they wonder about how they can learn from ancestry knowledge when creating afrofuturistic meaningfulness and belongingness. This talk reflects upon what it means to build caring communities that challenge themselves by addressing the notions of repression\, power dynamics and the politics of space in and outside their margins. \nWith Niloofar Rasooli (Zanjan/Zurich) \nNiloofar Rasooli (she/her) is a writer from Iran. Niloofar writes and teaches at the intersection of anti-colonial queer feminism\, erased memories and archives\, resistance\, rebellion\, revolution\, and the reclamations of the built and lived environment. \nFupaMagic (GHA/Vienna/Bern) \nFupaMagic (she/they)\, MA.\, MSc.\, is a Black educational scientist\, lecturer\, musical artist\, facilitator and genderqueer lesbian. They work at the Gender Research Unit at the University of Vienna. Her work revolves at the intersection of education & community care by creating anti-racist\, self-empowerming spaces for people navigating anti-queer hostility\, anti-fatness and white supremacy in white dominant societies. \nModerated by Marilyn Umurungi\, an art and cultural researcher\, examines the stories of Black people in her work\, which reveal the entanglements of racism\, sexism and exoticism in the Swiss and European context. As an expert outside the field of historical studies\, she seeks to apply various approaches to intersectionality to historical research. This episode and the space is open for everyone. The episode will be broadcasted over the airwaves on June 15th at 11:30 AM on Radio LoRa 97.5 MHZ \n  \nRegister: https://forms.gle/s6pMFzWZQgJzdDX46
