Crossings | عبور is part of a larger collaboration between DENA AL-ADEEB and SHOLEH ASGARY that uses the Epic of Gilgamesh as a departure point in a series of performances comprised of sound, moving image, and text that seek to excavate the relationship between racialized necropolitical destruction and bodies in protest across time and space. The latest iteration of this project: a voice, poetry, and electroacoustic lamentation that calls forth those amongst us, was performed at Berkeley Art Center on February 11, 2023, as part of the exhibition The Letters of Mina Harker, curated by Naz Cuguoglu.
