•••• Portability of ritual is the notion that allows worship and holiness to take place anywhere, expanding our idea of what exactly we mean by ‘space’ as both an experiential reality and cultural construct. Through a meditative sound piece and installation, ‘Portability of Ritual’ is an exploration of the dissonance of growing up in a multi-faith household, the movement of bodies, and attempt to find healing and connectivity amidst this •••• sound piece includes many Sheila Chandra edits, with my own voice and found sounds faintly in the background ••••••

portability of ritual

akka / shareeka  is an experimental artist, radio producer and community facilitator interested in the sonic, written word and collective organising; guided by a framework of anti-racism, radical hope and reciprocity. creating under the pseudonym akka, she fuses voice memos, found-sounds, echoic compositions, and influences of her mixed-multifaith lineage. she uses soundscaping as a means to unhinge linear expectations of colonial form and knowledge - in the pursuit of divinity and connection.
