What is a party without the people? How can we activate a moment of solidarity, so that it belongs to many and not to few? How can we use listening to tune in to the possibilities that sonic solidarity offers?
About
Join us on Saturday evening for Solidarity FX party, as part of the public programme curated by students from MACC collective highlighting sonic practices as tools for nurturing solidarities. Reverberating ideas through the form of a party, this programme invites us to gather together to enjoy the experiential. Through traces of mutual and continuously evolving exchanges, solidarities are composed and defined by you and your fellow party goers.
Inspired by fugitive radio, the sounds of protesting, and partying, the two-day programme will consist of participatory performance, DJ sets, conversation, a bespoke listening lounge and a site-specific voice note project. These practices and gestures are designed to activate moments of solidarity and explore its potential to be transmitted through sound waves. This live event will be archived as a tool for future use.
The line-up includes LUMA, a British-Iraqi DJ and radio host, whose Arabic heritage and urban London roots influence her rhythmic percussion. DJ Tabideee, a British-Sudanese DJ and founder/creative director of Space Black will play a set celebrating techno music. The bar will be hosted by British-Jamaican mixologist Amelia, founder of Fill My Cup. The night aims to nurture community, inclusivity and fun.
On Sunday, the programme continues with Solidarity Re:verb, echoing the traces of the night before through an open conversation and a participatory performance. More details: https://mosaicrooms.org/solidarity-fx-and-solidarity-reverb/
