Concrete Listening Show | ILYICH

Concrete Listening Show traces ways of listening through words, jazz, and electronic music.

This show is special in expanding anti-racist perspectives and suggesting possibilities for direct solidarity work, listening and breaking white silence. This show listens to the body to metabolise stuck emotional responses and as part of the ongoing struggle for social justice. Finally, this Concrete Listening Show will remind us to listen to our blessings and walk our purpose.

In this stream of appearances this show will be joined by educator, writer and activist Paul Kive; artist, facilitator, consultant and curator Camille Sapara Barton; social worker, somatic movement therapist and scholar/activist Rae Johnson and last but not least the infamous poet Basta Rhymes.

This show transmits sound of the Marxist Love Disco Ensemble, Jessica Ekomane, The Field, Alexander Flood, Kofi Flexx and many others.

Convinced of listening as a generative practice, the Concrete Listening Show points towards the challenges and solutions, which are simultaneously practical and theoretical, empirical and conceptual, literal and metaphorical, mystical and material, political and spiritual, collective and individual, mundane and extraordinary.
