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 FranceAlex SmithCaleb 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.

We are proud to participate in #FallOfFreedom, a nationwide cultural movement uniting artists, institutions, and communities in celebration of creative expression and solidarity.
