Who is witnessing the hardest periods of history and who is making the story out of it? While girls were granted with the lovely gift of diaries, boys were given notebooks to study, to expand in their own thoughts for then sharing them with the world and participate in the global discourse of legitimate history. We think the time of thoughtful journals is up and in this project we are unlocking diaries as the most important and profound data collections on social and political disasters, we are micing up the stories that are private and sensitive that’s why they will be accessible in the symbolic password mode.

Diary method allows the participant to record it as it occurs (or at least closer to the moment that it occurs). When participants record their observations or perceptions in the moment, we learn something different about their experiences than might be gained from other methods.  Through this project we want to work with the personal documentation of this toughest period on planet Earth with those witnessing it in different problematic contexts.

We invite to participation artists, curators, musicians, art and social theorists from different countries who at one time or another have taken the brunt of instability, armed conflicts, occupation or colonial interventions and work with the relentless and ruthless ongoing social and political systems as abuse. Program set itself the task to speak about social injustice and suffering from imperialism and colonization. It will include various formats: audio, video, images and texts.

Dans le parc national Madidi en Bolivie, les voix de la forêt se mêlent aux rondes des gardes-forestiers. Entre singes hurleurs, drône, vocalises de grenouilles, pirogue à moteur, brûlis, imitations de caïman et d'oiseaux, les mondes humains, animaux et technologiques s'enchevêtrent.  La pièce sonore propose une exploration plastique d'une nature habitée là où, plus qu'un simple paysage, elle devient sujet. Les gardes-forestiers sont les médiateurs de ce parcours qui chaque fois devient plus organique et désorientant.

Avec : lever de soleil, chants d’oiseaux, drone, ruche d’abeilles, grenouille, alligator, singes arraignées, eau dans un conteneur de béton, rivière, bateau gonflable, singes hurleurs, vent, feu, pluie, imitation, pirogue à moteur, oropendolas, oiseau tigre

Prix de Field recording au Phonurgia Nova Award 2022

Avec la participation et collaboration des gardes-forestiers Marcos, Heriberto, Juan, Dario, Remberto, Ernesto, Estefania, Diego, Cabea et Viktor du parc national Madidi en Amazonie bolivienne.

La pièce a été tournée à Apolo, Ichuramada, rio Tuichi, lagunas hermanas, Sadiri, Bala, Parabal, pampas d'Ixiamas.

Here is the text of one of my pieces, Masculine Hanger and also I have attached a few photos, Textiles have played a major role in the interconnections of the social, cultural and economic life of Iraqi Kurdistan. From making clothes to weaving rugs, the production of textiles was mostly executed by invisible and often unpaid labour by women. For instance, for a specific men’s Kurdish expensive Kurdish costume called ‘Shall’, a significant period of time and production is needed in order to prepare the raw material (the animal hair) to weave a ‘Shall’ fabric. The final handprint and selling process, however, belongs to men, superseding the work of women. Reproducing a (300cm x 17cm) shall fabric out of my hair is to articulate the notion of unpaid labourers and mundane jobs of women through a local product.

Kani is a visual artist and performer of experimental sound with hair. Born and raised in Iraq, she currently lives and works in London.
Her works signify the relentless and ruthless ongoing social and political systems of abuse in Iraqi Kurdish society, representing and embodying the hidden specific societal issues through her hair and voice to challenge the stereotype. Her interest is around stories that have never been told or heard, and history that has never been recorded, translating and decoding these stories into art and using art as a tool for social critique is the method in her artistic practice with using investigating form to reveal the unrevealed side of the stories, therefore the listening process is a major part of her practice.
She employs human hair as the main material as a tool for the entanglement of many perspectives and politics and converges personal stories through it as a protest against this stigma that never disappears against a specific gender in that society. Producing work through photography, installation, video performance and sound. 

Since 2015, her works have been exhibited in galleries and institutions including the National Museum NOMUS in Gdansk, Poland(2021), (Babylon Cinema as Moviemento, Kreuzberg and FSK Kino) in Berlin, Middle East Institute, Washington

February.
A new phrase "bystander effect", to remember what doomscrolling is. Drink so that you don't wake up already. The phone is cracking from screenshots of what / to whom / from where / to where to take. I struggle with myself to start creating. It seems that the artist needs to cover the problems after he sublimates his own. All right.

April.

Caius Williams – 'Ame' (from 'Gwannach' - Otoroku, 2023)

"Tumble into the dark kitchen, stub your toe and your necklace gives its beads to the floor. Each bead finds a completely separate trajectory. The second you turn on the lights one of them suddenly stops in the middle of the room. This bead wants to go unnoticed, and possibly merge with the fluorescent buzz. It looks like a secret sorry roach in an alien bright savannah. It’s convinced that lack of movement grants an invisibility cloak against predators and spectators. You respect the bead and don’t pick it up. With time it becomes as fixed as furniture.

One day you’re watching the news. There is a volcano waking up on screen. The camera zooms into the slowest lump of lava and you notice the bead has been changing. Cheek against cold tile to look closer: the bead is growing spores. Your pupils widen like a circle of water made by a rock falling into a dim black pond."

- Marta Núñez Pouzols

My name is Manja Ristić, and you are listening to the Framework radio International Women’s Day special.

> https://frameworkradio.net/2024/03/880-2024-03-10/

In this edition you will hear sounds and creators from South Africa, Marocco, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Iran, China, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Columbia; Spain, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Slovenia; from UK, Australia, USA, Germany, Italy, and Ireland; with aporee sounds of morning prayer in Ramallah, and bird’s song from Jerusalem – I am taking you for a journey around the Globe presenting the real sonic history of the world, the one told by girls and women. From place to place and from heart to heart, these voices hold the space together, storytelling from the shadows of oppression and discrimination, with wounds inflicted by systematic neglect, poverty, and wars – these authors speak the truth and nothing but the truth.

I am deeply humbled to present works by fierce creators, researchers, mothers, activists, freedom fighters, tribal elders, and one famous nun, life-long expats, and former sex workers; extraordinary versatility, and contemporaneity of their sound, being their common denominator, is what will mark this International Women’s Day Framework mix.

MA - Shoqsh
from the album "AMA" expected November 2019.

Composed and written by MA.
Recorded by MA. 
Produced, Mixed and Arranged by Rabih Beaini.
Mastered by Neel at Enisslab. 
Cover Artwork by George Sowden - Designed by M-L-XL

doser035LP - Morphine Records 2019
All rights reserved to the respective owners.

MA comes from the rap and hip-hop Tokyo scene, but throughout the years he evolved into a more noisy and experimental beat making. He blends ritualistic ancient Japanese lyrics and vocal methods, on music that he creates using his voice and field recordings. The result is alienating, weird and haunting but at the same time fascinating and futuristic.

MA - Shoqsh (doser035LP preview)
