Adam Seid Tahir | Performance Situation Room

From September 15 till September 29 Adam Seid Tahir will be in residence at Veem.

Adam Seid Tahir (they/them) is a choreographer and creative technologist. Their
two roles involve crafting performative work and designing/developing
websites. These practices also merge and expand into writing texts, making
video installations, 3D animation and crafting sensor-based instruments.
Adam uses speculative imagination as a tool of resistance and centers their
work around creating loud and immersive black queer fiction. They are
interested in mythological figures, daydreaming and crafting affective
machines. These interests often intersect through water, where they take the
shape of sirens, waterfalls and submerged transatlantic communication cables.
In their latest works Adam keeps returning to the practice of braiding hair. Both
its traditional meaning with its ancestral social traditions and through the
expanded idea of braiding as a method for working together. In the latter notion
Adam has recently collaborated with Amina Seid Tahir and the collective
EMBRACE (consisting of Lydia Östberg Diakité, Meleat Fredriksson and
themself).

A public presentation of their work will be held on September 28.

After the performance there will be an informal after talk where we will serve food and drinks. For the food we ask a small fee of €5.00. You can be pay at the bar or reserve a food-ticket by clicking the ticket link on this website. Though participating in the after talk and purchasing food and drinks is not mandatory for the event, we do think it is a great way to end the evening.
