Author Reading | Extratransmission: A Poetic Critique of Nationalism, Patriarchy and Gender
A poetic critique of nationalism, patriarchy and gender embedded in an explosive and unapologetic trauma narrative. It begins with an exhaustive loud, and unapologetic section on killing bros, the perpetrators of patriarchy before entering a narrative of how traumatic brain injury occurs to bodies in modern warfare. The text labors over how memory constructs our identity, our constant experience and how that can be destroyed in one of many empty military moments. With author Andrea Abi-Karam.

Dance Performance | Visual Artist And Musician
Performance by Bonaventure and Hannah Black Hannah Black is a conceptual visual artist and writer. Her work spans video, text and performance and draws on communist, feminist, and afropessimist theory, autobiographical fragments, and pop music Hannah Black’s video installation, Beginning, End, None, takes the cell, the building block of all living organisms, as its starting point. Questioning the classic analogy of the cell as “factory,” Black explores the ideological aura of this comparison, which implicitly naturalizes the factory and commodifies the cell. Using found, personal, and laboratory footage, Black explores the leakiness of metaphoric and real transmissions between concepts of biology and society. Swedish-Congolese musician Bonaventure (Soraya Lutangu) makes abrasive, experimental dance music that confronts institutional racism and oppression. She uses music as an identity research tool along with practical and speculative initiatives to connect her African and European roots and investigate human boundaries.
