Trans-temporal Echoes brings in resonance voices, sounds, and rhythms across time. Traversing stories of precolonial West Africa, contemporary urban life, and cross-culturally generated constellations of knowledges it calls into question hegemonic conceptions of linear time and the past. Turning toward embodied forms of knowing it amplifies moment of trans-generational transmission unsettling linear temporality and spatial separation.

Trans-temporal Echoes is an ensemble of voices, a distant dialogue amongst women and whales echoing each other telling a story of deep entanglements, deep time, residence time, a tale of water and fluid time.

Submersed in a fictional oceanscape populated by whales, vibrating with Sona Jobarteh, multi-instrumentalist and composer, descendant of one of the five principal kora-playing griot families of West Africa, listening to curator Fatou Kiné Diouf channelling Djibril Diop Mambéty, echoing artist Binta Diaw and her mother Adama Diongue chanting the mourning of Baay Demba Waar, healing with artist Fatou Kiné Ndiaye invoking her mother, resonating with griotte Binel Mboum singing Yéla [granted wishes], music of the Toucouleurs created in Fouta-Toro, wandering with artist Imann Gaye and Akinbode Akinbiyi’s words, naming genealogies with slammer Black Yaye Fall, following soul singer Aminata Fall laughing in Touki Bouki, intercepting rapper Mamy Victory riming of self-determination, tracing time with Chiara Figone calling upon Jacqui Alexander and Dionne Brand, choring with Yandé Codou Sène in a Serer ritual, breathing with Mareme Niang.

Trans-Temporal Echoes was commissioned as part of Right on Time Radio which ran from 4-13 June 2021.

Curated by Soukaina Aboulaoula for Sheffield DocFest Arts Programme 2021.

DISASTER POP

Rain

The energy in the room changed in a split second. If only she'd could have kept her mouth shut; hadn't "unintentionally" left a path of destruction for others to clean up - the day ahead would have panned out very differently. Shock had turned to sadness which quickly morphed into anger, making for a potent cocktail of self-destruction... Was that her endgame all along? To drive them to a state of despair, to bring about their downfall and paint herself as a martyr for speaking up in the first place? Surely not, anyone with even an ounce of empathy could only feel awful now...

Nukuluk are back with their singular blend of hip hop, indie and electronica. The South London collective burst onto the scene with their debut EP Disaster Pop in 2021, followed by a run of gigs across London, which were an introduction to both their melting pot of influences and their infectious stage presence. Superglue is their sophomore offering, and it sees the group really finding their stride sonically and pushing the sound further into new realms. There's nods to everything from trip hop, metal and rock to hip hop, dance music and r'n'b, matched with frontmen Syd and Monika's contrasting yet seemingly compatible vocal stylings. 

The track itself ruminates on how we play different characters based on the social environments we're in and how these can change dependent on the circumstances of the situation. The track comes with a video recorded in black & white VHS-style by filmmaker Will Reid which takes a spontaneous approach, showing the band reacting and responding to the track without any prior planning.
