James Webs sound work of marsh wren birds singing - There is No Place Called Home (Hökarängen) - is coming to an end on October 2nd. Webb introduces specific birds' singing via hidden speakers in the public space, songs that blend in and become part of Fagerlidsparken, far beyond the bird's home. In the sound installation, different sounds are mixed so that it appears as "real" and as "realistic" as possible in the environment.
To end the exhibition There is No Place Called Home (Hökarängen), 2021 at Konsthall C, we want to invite poets to select poems that pick up different themes in James Webb's work. We proudly offer a new space of tension between poetry and birdsong. Invited poets are Jasim Mohamed and Abul.
Abul is a queer transfemme poet ( they / she), born in India, recently moved to Stockholm through Tokyo. Jasim Mohamed, is a poet and translator. He made his debut in 2005 with the collection of poems Exercises into another language. Mohamed ran the international poetry scene Bagdad Café in Tensta for many years, today he lives in Uppsala and Athens.
Time and date for the event: Saturday October 2nd At 13:00 Outside of Konsthall C |
