More about Workshop: ęmí: freedomsong | The Humming Score (RSVP)
The work is rooted in the Yoruba concept of ęmí, the breath that animates life, and is framed by Black radical traditions of collective imagination and liberation. Le Guess Who? describes it as a live audio-visual performance that turns grief into a shared language of love, protest, and possibility.
