FOCUS: Brown Atlantis Radio Program with Ayesha Hameed and Ananya Kabir

Join us for FOCUS, a dive into our exhibitions together with special guests.

This edition of FOCUS delves into our current Solo Duet Brown Atlantis by artist Ayesha Hameed, who is joined by Professor Ananya Jahanara Kabir for a special edition of Radio Brown Atlantis that will later be broadcast on Movement Radio in Athens and Radio alHara in Bethlehem.

Radio Brown Atlantis is a project by the artist and writer Ayesha Hameed. The project takes the shape of an experimental radio program that invites practitioners in the field of sonic art, music, and performative thought aiming at exploring the entanglements between Brown and Black bodies from the African diaspora, Indigenous peoples from South America, and South Asians displaced by indenture, connected through the experience of oceanic colonial routes. At the core of the project, the subaquatic zones of Brown Atlantis unfold as catalysts for racial potentialities that are constituted in the conjunction of the ontologies of earth, ocean, and non-western subjectivities. This live radio program will engage in spontaneous conversations, shaped by music, literature, sonic art, and storytelling.

This edition of FOCUS takes place in conjunction with FOCUS: Jan Verwoert on ‘The Wound in its Entanglements’ by Ane Graff from 18:00. You can purchase a combi-ticket to both programs for EUR5.

This program is supported by The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux.
