Week Two: Elysia Crampton Chuquimia
Wednesday 20 May

“A medicine bundle, holding things in a particular, powerful relation to one another and to us.” — Ursula K. Le Guin

For the second episode of Carrier Bag Music, Elysia Crampton Chuquima responds to the concept, image and process of the medicine bundle — a collection of sacred items with spiritual significance, held in a special carrier, in Indigenous American cultures. Spanning over seventeen years of the artist’s life, this episode comprises original music and edits by the artist and includes the premiere of a previously unreleased track ‘Stars Over Riparian Corridor’ and features music released under the artist’s Jaqi name, Chuquimamani-Condori — the name given to her as a form of honour and recognition from the elders of her nation.

“Although it’s possible to contextualise Crampton’s work among that of her contemporaries, hers is a truly singular style…she’s able to synthesize numerous musical forms, crashing timbres, dense percussion, mauled samples, pretty synth lines, club music structures dismantled from within, and much more, into bold music rich with purpose and feeling.” — The Wire

Curated by Ignota in partnership with Camden Art Centre and Haus Kulturen der Welt.
