proxy (2.2): a work which originally focussed on the invisibilised systems of enduring colonisation has been revised to focus on the current unignorable genocide in Gaza, and the 75-year resistance of the Palestinian people.
A space for contemplation, honouring and action, held by nussatari. Involving a provocation, an invitation to a conversation or individual actions, and a sonic closing reflection.
With gratitude to Nat Raha and to the TMS team.
NXSA works across-between sound, text and movement through slow research, practice and collaborative works which materialise as meditative, site-responsive, digital and club performances.
They are interested in necessary confrontations as sites for resistance, refusal, transformation; and in momentarily resting in the perceived void as a site for contemplation, for survival, for renewal.
