SPACE21 Festival: Day One
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Archive Khanah on Kurdish, Palestinian, & Armenian Archives in Crisis
How do we listen to archives in times of crisis? How do fragile histories, lost songs and displaced voices resonate in the present?
Across two days, artists, archivists and musicians come together for workshops, performances and discussions, transforming archival materials into living, breathing works. Through urgent listening, we reimagine histories and collective memory with cassette recordings, experimental sound and interactive performances.
On day one, we explore archival interventions and community listening practices in Kurdistan, Western Armenia and Palestine. Collectively listening to cassette recordings of Archive Khanah, which this year is dedicated to all three archives, we engage in urgent listening and practice feeling listening – gathering displaced voices, and lost songs, listening deeply to what they carry.
SPACE21 Festival has been held annually in Slemani, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, since 2017. Over the years it has fostered international collaborations and artist exchanges with festivals such as Irtijal in Beirut, Breach in Cyprus and Sonorities in Belfast. Archive Khanah is part of SPACE21 projects: www.space21.org, www.khanah.org
