Background

After facilitating a 3-month residency with more than a dozen NY-based artists from Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, on Dec 1, 2023, we premiered the fruits of this collaboration for an audience of 300+ at a new space in Brooklyn called Funoon. Over the course of 3 hours, we took the audience on a "tanfis" (catharsis) journey, seamlessly harmonizing acoustic traditional music and electronic audio and video remixes, deep listening and dance, storytelling and trance, embroidery and video art. The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive and deeply appreciative for our important offering in this time of increased oppression and dehumanization of the communities served by this project. The above teaser video for the next Jan 15, 2024 event (to be held at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn) was created from footage of the Dec 1, 2023 premiere event.
