Throughout the episode, we’ll hear excerpts from Howl’s work with sound, from song-making to podcasts and audio walks. Howl Yuan, or Yuan Cheng-Po, is a Taiwanese performance maker/writer/curator/researcher. His interests cross-cultural identity, mobility, site/place/space, and decolonized narratives.

    performingbordersRADIO: Episode 5: On Palestine | October 2023

    Given the on-going genocide in Gaza, performingborders created this episode as a space to share resources in the form of texts, poems, music, and the reading of manifestos and call-outs generated around the world from groups in solidarity with Palestinian liberation. It is a radio space to echo the voices of those demanding justice and voicing the way in which all of our struggles are entangled - none of us are free until we all are. Tune in to find a space for collective grief, solidarity, seeds of resistance, and calls to action.

    performingbordersRadio: Episode 4 with Pouya Ehsaei, From the Lips to the Moon | September 2023

    📻 This month we’re talking to Pouya Ehsaei about the Lips To The Moon project, listening to some of their favourite recordings from the performances, talking about multidisciplinary collaboration, and thinking more about what it means to work transnationally through sound. ✨🌙 From the Lips to the Moon is an unusual music and poetry performance. An immersive space made through the synergies of words, melodies, languages and beats. Created by electronic musician and composer Pouya Ehsaei and performance maker and word trickster Tara Fatehi, From the Lips to the Moon is a regular music and poetry night in London where they invite other poets and musicians to join them in creating live improvised performances. It is an event full of riveting live music, mind-bending beats, fierce poetry, absurd texts and goosebumps. The performances are often streamed to the Palestine-based Radio-Alhara. This episode was recorded live Montez Press Radio studios in London, on Thursday 28 September | 4 PM

    performingbordersRADIO: Episode 3 with Untethered Magic | July 2023

    performingbordersRADIO: Episode 3 with Untethered Magic | July 2023 This month performingborders shares an audio collage of their time working with Untethered Magic, from visiting their space on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya in February 2023 during a two-week residency, to ongoing digital conversations on transnational collaboration. Untethered Magic, run by artists Syowia Kyambi, Kibe Wangunyu, and Ciaran Nash, is both a home and an independently run residency space that encourages growth, independence, and processes of unlearning. It is a space being set up to live with the land, thinking through sustainability in environmental and social terms. During their time collaborating, performingborders and Untethered Magic have discussed ideas of place, sustainability, and live art, thinking through the creation of alternative spaces for experimental work. In this show, they share conversations between the two collectives, alongside readings and short performative interventions by artists who joined them during the residency in Kenya including Nekoye Ommeh, Ngwatilo Mawiyoo, Esther Kamba, and Joseph Kanyenje.

    performingbordersRADIO: Episode 2 with Diana Damian Martin | May 2023

    Tune in to performingbordesRadio, an exploration into the entanglement between Live Art, sound, and notions and lived experiences of intersectional and transnational borders, bi-monthly on Montez Press Radio. In this new show, performingborders take to the radio to share collaborative, sound-based performance work created with and by artists in their network. In our second episode as Radio residents, we meet with artist Diana Damian Martin to talk through her commission Spells for a border town (retrocedare) which was originally commissioned for the performingborders platform in April 2021. In Romanian, Retrocedare refers to the process of returning something, for example, a territory, back to the person or entity that had previously been ceded (usually) during a violent or enforced take-over. In this episode, we’ll be re-sharing some of the audio work from this commission, re-visiting the political situation of the territories that mark the commission and talking, as well as touching on the entanglement between the process of re-ceding and decolonial practices on the peripheries of Europe. The episode and commission features work and thinking by artists: Diana Damian Martin, Mihaela Drăgan, Rusanda Curcă, Iulia Mărăcine, and Flo Thamer.  Diana Damian Martin is an artist and researcher, working at the intersection between writing, politics and performance. Her work concerns alternative critical epistemologies and feminist modes of exchange, interventionist and political performance and the ecological and representational poetics of migration, with a distinct focus on Eastern Europe. Recent collaborations include performingborders, The Albany, Dansehallerne, The Wellcome Collection and Tate Modern. She co-hosts The Department of Feminist Conversations and Something Other, and co-runs the Serbo-Romanian critical cooperative Critical Interruptions, artistic research committee Generative Constraints and is a core member of Migrants in Culture. Her recent publications include (states of) wake: Dedicating Performance and Critical Interruptions Vol 1: Steakhouse LIVE. She is currently Senior Lecturer in Performance Arts at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and once appeared in an issue of Private Eye, where her work was described as obscure, impenetrable and unclear.

    performingbordersRadio: THREE LISTENING RITUALS IN SONIC MIGRATIONS | TRES RITUALES DE ESCUCHA EN MIGRACIONES SÓNICAS - by Ximena Alarcón-Díaz Join us for performingborder’s first radio show of 2023! For the next few months we’ll be exploring the entanglement between Live Art and notions and lived experiences of intersectional and transnational borders, bi-monthly on Montez Press Radio. We are taking to the radio to share our collaborative, sound-based performance work created with and by artists in our network. We hope you enjoy it. We open this series with three listening rituals by Ximena Alarcón-Díaz, which were originally commissioned for performingborders’ annual e-Journal #2: Rallying the Commons, published 14th December 2022. The pieces are offered as a trilogy of rituals to connect your body to the dream world, to childhood memories of curiosity about nature, and to other beings that are more than human. Through the rituals we hope to explore sonic migration, deep listening, and strengthen our individual and collective sense of agency. In this re-release of the rituals, we tell you more about this new radio series and hear more from Ximena about the rituals and her practice after the creation of the work. The rituals mix Spanish and English but welcome listeners in all languages. There are transcriptions freely available in the e-journal, through which you can also revisit the rituals. Access the transcriptions on our e-journal here: https://performingborders.live/ejournal/three-listening-rituals-in-sonic-migrations/
