Due to unforeseen circumstances, أحمد [Ahmed] had to cancel their performance and, consequently, our accompanying book presentation at STUK. We’re currently working on finding a new date in the foreseeable future and hope to come back with some good news soon.Instead, we’re delighted to announce that Edward George will join us the day before, on February 13, at our beloved venue Les ateliers claus for a new iteration of his Strangeness of… series—part listening session, part audio essay—exploring the strangeness of jazz, drawing on critical theory, social history, and a deep and wide cross-genre musical selection.
Edward George is a writer, broadcaster and photographer. A founding member of Black Audio Film Collective, he wrote and presented, among others, the seminal essay film Last Angel of History (1996), which helped pave the way for contemporary thinking around Afro-futurism. George was part of the multimedia duo Flow Motion and the electronic music project Hallucinator. His ongoing radio series The Strangeness of Dub and The Strangeness of Jazz intertwine a broad musical selection with different geographical musical histories, African/Afro-diasporic knowledge and critical theory from queer and black studies. His recent work includes Dub Housing, a project exploring how dub music articulates a different consciousness of people and place, time and geography, history and architecture, race and metropolis, and Black Atlas, a moving-image essay exploring the Image of the Black archive which was recently exhibited at the Warburg Institute.
