Saturday, November 9, 11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
London-based artist, poet, and filmmaker Julianknxx presents Chorus in Flight – a sonic performance created in collaboration with a local Philadelphia-based choir, as part of the programming for The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure. Drawing from West African traditions of oral histories, Julianknxx explores the richness of diasporic traditions, uncovering themes of community, memory work, laughter, loss, and joy.
In this performance, The Time is Always Now serves as a space to engage with voices, feelings, memories, and histories of the Black and African diaspora. Working as a catalyst for reflection and deep listening, Julianknxx invites us to reconsider the presence and representation of Black peoples, and how we hold space collectively.
