Syrian Tonalities

Syrian Tonalities comes back at a time when what is going on back home is marked with a great urgency for being together. Join on the 16th of October at Garage Noord for a new iteration of great works by Syrian makers and collectives.

Kween

Kween is a composer, sound artist and cultural maker. From lights to soundscapes, Kween weaves the atmospheres that hold us, making sure every beat, laugh, and gasp lands exactly where it should.

Yara Said

Yara Said, also known as Noise Diva, is a Syrian electronic music producer, researcher and visual artist. Her work spans across various mediums, including painting, design, and multimedia installations. Said graduated from the Sandberg Institute’s Fine Arts Masters program, with a research on sound as a tool for contemporary emancipatory practices. This topic emerged from her own experience and memory of sound and noise, confronted with the oppressive systems at play in both the Middle East and Europe.

Syrian Tonalities is an event showcasing works from makers whose practice reflects a glimpse of the complexity and the exploration of the reclaimed Syrian identity. It creates space for audio-visual works, live music, movies, poetry, and different forms of expression that sprout out of constantly being in proximity to what we call home, but never really reaching the status of being present in one.

The people at Garage Noord have kindly offered a limited amount of free tickets for Subbacultcha members. Please make a reservation by sending an email to mailinglist@subbacultcha.nl with ‘Syrian Tonalities’ in the subject line + your name in the email.
