YARA MEKAWEI: KLANGKUNSTBÜHNE ARTIST TALK

26.09.2022 / 19:00 – 21:00
With Yara Mekawei

Yara Mekawei (fellow 2021–22) will present her work in a talk at the daadgalerie. The talk is part of the international summer academy KlangKunstBühne organized by the UdK Berlin, where Mekawei is offering a workshop. As an artist and researcher, her sounds are inspired by the energic flows of urban centers and city infrastructures. Mekawei, whose interests include architectural philosophy, history, and literature, utilizes a visual transfer of musical conversation, translating sound waves into visual forms. Her compositional philosophy is informed by sophisticated practices that convey messages of conceptual dimension to audiences. Mekawei’s research-based practice combines the philosophy of the past with the technology of the present. In her projects, she makes use of research focal points to link works together. Her works reveal an intangible aspect of her identity and being a woman in an East African society.

Admission free / in English
