The Dreamwork: A journey of women's voices. From the evening sky, we will descend to a darkened auditorium where myths are explored, disentangled, and reborn. A soprano, reaching for the stars, whose voice, once lost to time, will rise from the ocean to be found in a vessel of memory.
What does listening to the female voice do to the listener? And what does the embodied experience of singing do for the performer?
In this new lecture-performance, Omar Kholeif, an Egyptian-born, British-Sudanese curator, writer, and poet, together with Dutch-American artist and educator Evi Vingerling, have devised a journey to recover lost women's voices. Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska's installation "Zanzibar" (1997-2023) serves as a starting point.
The presentation includes readings, correspondence trails, poems, archival imagery, video clips, and live songs to explore how personal archives shape collective memory. This endeavor reflects on the various forms friendship can take and the notion of imagining the world otherwise, shared through tales of pirates, sirens, and sensory adventures.
Good to know
The event is part of an ongoing exploration developed within the book series "imagine/otherwise" published by Sternberg Press and artPost21.
