Adam Seid Tahir at WSF // artifact -residency sharing? Trafó Stúdió
? 30 September, 2024 | 9:00pm
(Due to technical reasons we will start the sharing after Lili Raubinek's show at the main hall ends, expected app. 9 pm.)
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.
