For their final performance as 2024-25 Writer in Residence, Daniella Valz Gen presents Soothsayer - an experimental poetic ritual of divination through a live reading of the sky and the atmosphere in Gallery 2. Composed live in collaboration with experimental musician Ana Tiene (F*choir, Trouble Wanted), Soothsayer enacts oracular practice in real time and explores the ritual nature of percussion as a conduit for divination.
Rooted in dance’s ability to support us with tending to grief in our bodies, join writer, artist and somatic practitioner Camille Sapara Barton for a session experimenting with how we can process individual and collective grief through ritual, movement, and somatic practices.
Join artist Anna Maria Nabirye for a relaxed, cosy and intimate evening of listening and conversation, as we celebrate the magic of diasporic kitchen spaces, as sites for collective culture making, community, and connection to our ancestral homelands.
