Adam Seid Tahir | Creative Crossroad Cycle 1

Adam Seid Tahir (they/them) will share some early fragments from their ongoing research on fictive archaeology. They’re conducting this research as both a longer research project and the starting point for their new work ”artifact” (working title).

In this research they’re diving into the creation of fictive artifacts from a queer Afro-Nordic folklore.

Adam is interested in the idea of the time capsule: the deliberate practice of leaving something behind for the future. The process of archiving an experience or wish. Adam is interested in the time capsule as a method for story-telling, as well as the political considerations of what to leave behind and how. This stands in stark contrast to the often violent and colonial methods of extraction that haracterizes much of the tradition of archaeology. In their research so far Adam has worked with metal etching and somatic excavation. Now at Veem, Adam is interested in exploring methods for printing on hair and looking at the history of runes and their connection to the Vikings’ contact with northern Africa.

Zaterdag 28 september zal Adam hun werk aan het publiek tonen in de studio van Veem.

Bij de performance zal er ook een simpel diner geserveerd worden. Voor de performance en het diner vragen we een kleine vergoeding van €5.00.

Deze presentatie is onderdeel van de Creative Crossroad Cycle 1.

Let op! De voorstelling begint om 19:00 uur!
