IN·FLO·RES·CENCE composer, artist Elaine Mitchener is joined by filmmaker theorist Kodwo Eshun and art historian curator Temi Odumosu in-conversation with The Showroom Director Elvira Dyangani Ose about experimental vocals and social transformation.
About
This discussion includes an introduction to IN·FLO·RES·CENCE’s focus on the cross-modality of art and sound and the three guest speakers: artist Elaine Mitchener whose work encompasses improvisation, contemporary music theatre, and performance art; filmmaker and theorist Kodwo Eshun who is a co-founder of The Otolith Group and explores ideas about how music and science fiction intersects with the African diaspora; and art historian and curator Temi Odumosu whose research focuses on the visual politics and archiving of colonialism, and how art mediates social change and healing.
Director Elvira Dyangani Ose, turning towards her curatorial interest in storytelling and the idea of sound as a poetic source of knowledge, moderates this conversation around the idea of jazz as expressed through experimental vocals, movement, and composition; as well as the cross-modalities of sonics, art, performance, social transformation, and healing, which everyone’s individual practices and recent collaborations potently address.
