ROW [92] - Sonic Liberation Front in Solidarity with Iran

Saz-e Shekaste (broken instrument) Live 07 Roma (improvisation)

The new music and sound performance by Ali Ostovar explores working with objects associated with his memories from the past, especially in relation to his childhood memories with his father in his native Iran. The title of the performance refers to a song of the same name by Delkash, one of the iconic singers of the 1940s–1960s in Iran. Ali listened to many Iranian songs at home during childhood, as his father was fascinated with listening to and playing traditional music. The title also refers to his life story of carrying a broken Iranian setar around Europe for more than 12 years to find someone who could fix it; he still kept it even after buying a new one.
At the performance, he will play approximately 60 minutes of live-electronic music using his laptop, a few cassette players, a synthesizer, and possibly other instruments, questioning what it means to bring the past into the present or keep it there. Does the past consist only of what we remember? And what about what we don’t remember?
He recreates personal memories by selecting different sound materials, using sonic metaphors and transculturation, and playing with time, frequencies, and transformation.

AL.Berlin - Kelman Duran & Jumana Manna - 15 Feb 2024

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ

Rojin Sharafi, a Tehran-born, Vienna-based sound artist, performer, and composer, fuses raw and abstract emotions with electronic elements that emulate acoustic sounds. Her distinctive musical language intertwines acoustic elements, replicating electronic textures and vice versa, resulting in a synthesis of resilient yet vulnerable and honest sonic expressions.
Using a mix of analog, acoustic, and augmented instruments, alongside custom-designed digital tools, Sharafi gained recognition for her debut album, "Urns Waiting to be Fed," described as “one of [2019’s] most ecstatic and fiercely original hours of music” by The Quietus. Following this success, she released "Zangaar" in 2020 and "Kariz" in 2021. In 2023, Sharafi, together with her band members from HUUUM, published their debut album—an exploration of folk futurism.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.


Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.

‎الأرض والحرية - Land and freedom - Tierra y Libertad - Terre et liberté - Земля та Свобода - Երկիր և Ազատությունը - Жер және бостандық 

This new edition of 24 hrs/Palestine will take place on April 6 and 7, midway between two important dates for Palestine: Land Day (March 30) and Prisoner’s Day (April 17). The contributions and interventions of this new edition are an attempt to think with these two days in the midst of the colonial war and genocide in Gaza.
 
Land and Freedom are not just slogans. They are daily struggles that the Palestinian people have been waging for decades. Marching on 1m² of earth or digging a few cm into a prison floor with a spoon are acts of resistance whose echoes will be reverberating around the world on April 6 and 7, 2024.

Land and freedom. These words will circulate across languages and geographies. Tierra y Libertad, الأرض والحرية, Земля та Свобода, Terre et Liberté... They are part of, and resonate within, a revolutionary and anti-colonialist pathway rooted in peasant movements for land, fights against slavery, fights against layers of oppression, for liberation, and for self-determination.

Reverberating resistances programme Radio Fantasia x Plotting Institute text: 
Reverberating Resistances is a translocal sharing of sonic statements, relating land-based struggles.  It is co-organised by Radio Fantasia and Plotting Institute. 
Overlapping liberation struggles show that colonialism is an international project, maintained by competition and collaboration between Western and non-Western empires. How to carry each other’s voices as they keep being silenced?  To counter violent imperial clashes and overlaps, we create a space for reverberations in solidarity with resistance to Israeli settler colonial project.  Participants resonate with Palestinian struggle from situated positions of Crimean Tatar, Ukranian, Armenian, Uyghur, Bashkort, Qazaq resistances to Russian, Turkish, Azerbaijani, Chinese states colonial projects. 

We start from grief for the lives taken and lands contaminated. To find the methods of sabotage, refusal and reclamation, we analyse the imperial overlaps and exchanges of deadly technologies. And then move towards collectively crafting a radical hope to echo across contexts.
