Taking inspiration from the soil, we compost old structures, let go, tend to grief, and decompose old ways of thinking, doing and being to find ways to compose new imaginaries.

Performance:

Through a live performance weaving music, poetry, and movement, the work responds to Rasha Tayeh’s ongoing project compost : compose, which asks: how we might compost old structures, tend to grief, and decompose inherited ways of thinking, doing, and being, to make space for composing new imaginaries — rooted in care, repair, and collective liberation.

What might become possible when we gather, listen and compose new realities together?

Join us in an evening of performance-based art of old and new compositions. Featuring artists mohamed chamas, Allara, and Ysk.

Wednesday 18 February, 7pm – 8.30pm
Tickets from $10

Public Program:

How can we compost old structures, tend to grief, and decompose inherited ways of thinking, doing, and being – and compose new imaginaries for reparative futures and collective liberation.

Join us for a conversation with artists Allara, Mohamed Chamas and Ysk, with performances from Sarah Iman, Mwaffaq Al-Hajjar and DT.

Saturday 21 February, 3pm – 5pm
Free, please RSVP
