Devotional Vocal Performance by Assia Ghendir
To witness is to make contact
To be touched
And to bear
The marks of this touch
Join us for an evening reflecting on themes emerging within Hamid Zénati’s exhibition, Two Steps at a Time.
We will be hosting
To witness is to make contact
To be touched
And to bear
The marks of this touch
- a devotional vocal performance with Assia Ghendir in response to the natural forms, textures and designs that inspired Zénati’s 'all-over' style.
This event is organised in partnership with The Mosaic Rooms, London, on the occasion of their archival survey exhibition, Performing Colonial Toxicity by Samia Henni, that documents France’s secret nuclear programme in Algeria during and after the Algerian Revolution (1954-62).
Assia Ghendir is a musician, performance artist and somatic practitioner with a research-driven practice, exploring the parallel and dialogue between geological movements and somatic movements. Rooted in ancient vocalizations and rite of passage practices, Assia’s vocal work is a precise attunement through pre-verbal incantations that tells of numinous landscapes, human emotions and its malleability.
