Gerundi Circular

This podcast, accompanying Laia Estruch’s performance project for TBA21 on st_age, is hosted by curator, writer, and lifelong birder Max Andrews. It takes flight into the realm of birds, looking at politics and practices that disrupt dominant historical narratives and exceed scientific and cultural boundaries. Alex Holt is a spokesperson for Bird Names for Birds, a movement to decolonise bird names, and Hollis Taylor is a zoömusicologist specializing in birdsong. Through their perspectives we glimpse new and speculative kinds of human–bird narratives; what Anna-Sophie Springer and Etienne Turpin have described as “minor ornithologies.”

The concept of "Minor Ornithology" was coined by Anna-Sophie Springer and Etienne Turpin in 2013 and is their title of an ongoing series of multidisciplinary collaborations within their curatorial framework Reassembling the Natural / reassemblingnature.org and their edited publication, These Birds of Temptation (K. Verlag & Haus der Kulturen der Welt, 2021).

Worakls:

"The first time I visited this city was really inspiring for me. Walking in the same streets than so many composers, who made the music history. Mozart was probably hanging out in the same places I was visiting, breathing the same air, laughing and composing around. He was there before and let his mark in the whole city and in the world as well. Back from the gig I was there for, I couldn’t sleep without writing some melodies, I hope you’ll be travelling in this beautiful city listening to it. "

What My Last Girl Put Me Through by Nicholas Jaar

"The Pilgrim" by Tim Kelly. Read by Carl Doran. Published in Askeaton-Balysteen Community News, Summer 1984. This is a story of young love, of a clandestine marriage of a jealous father. It is the tale which involves an Italian, and a Spaniard, and a morbid blood-hunt that links Barcelona with Askeaton. And of murder – of cruel, bloody murder. The dramatic narrative brings to life a cryptic inscription in the cloister of Askeaton's Friary that reads "Beneath lies the Pilgrim's body, who died January 17, 1784".

"The Pilgrim" was Latitudes’ contribution to the Askeaton Contemporary Arts 2018 residency "Welcome to the Neighbourhood". It is a starting point rather than a conclusion. A textual splinter that is now pointing us towards future research around the navigators, pirates, traders, religions, and economies which linked Ireland with the Atlantic and western-Mediterranean sea-lanes during the last centuries.
