manuel arturo abreu + Saturn Base (Johann Diedrick, Temar France, Caleb Giles, and Alex Smith)
An evening of solo and collective sonic-poetic experiments featuring the Dominican non-disciplinary artist manuel arturo abreu and the interdisciplinary performance collective Saturn Base. abreu will read from their recently published book, two versions of a stone castle (home school press, 2024), while improvising a sonic accompaniment that explores the unruly musicality of speech. Saturn Base, made up of the artists Temar France, Alex Smith, Caleb Giles, and Johann Diedrick, will present a collaborative sonic and textual transmission that draws on traditions of Caribbean cosmology, pirate radio, and Jamaican sound system culture to find new resonances for anti-imperialist articulation.
This event will also be livestreamed for free on the Project’s YouTube channel.
