Sunday May 23, 2021 4-5:30 pm PDT / 6-7:30 pm CT / 7-8:30 pm EDT
A performance, informed in part by Iranian Shia mourning rituals and in part by contemporary politics of protest, includes chants and poetry, theoretical recitations, intonations, laments, Live VJing, electro-acoustic improvisations, needle play, interdimensional contact, finger dancing, black light graffiti art, and textural invocations. This iteration of the mourning is dedicated to Palestine.
