To Become Liquid<\/em>\u00a0functions as the opening of the album\u00a0Corps Perdu\u00a0<\/em>(upcoming), leaving the door ajar toward a forthcoming trilogy of sound works that form part of a long-term project provisionally titled\u00a0Surrounding World<\/em>. Conceived as a process in continuous becoming, the project deliberately resists closure or a definitive final form. Its development unfolds dialogically through performance, installation, object-based presentation, music, and radio.<\/p>\r\n

The practice centers on the creation of immersive, multisensory sound environments, informed and inspired by the reading of conceptually dense and historically rich texts from the tradition of Black Studies, as well as from seminal historians, poets, and theorists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Sylvia Wynter, Dionne Brand, Fred Moten, \u00c9douard Glissant, Suzanne C\u00e9saire, and Aim\u00e9 C\u00e9saire. While the works often engage with the turbulent uncertainties of the present, sound\u2014the project\u2019s primary medium\u2014consistently carries a historical consciousness. The resulting form is a poetic and unexpected montage, whose most recent iteration is\u00a0Corps Perdu<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

Corps Perdu<\/em>\u00a0extends an ongoing practice of transmuting text into sound. This gesture embraces an inherent vulnerability\u2014approximations, displacements, and potential misreadings\u2014and is guided by an ethic of close, careful, and intentional reading, which in turn extends to listening as an active and alert practice. The title\u00a0Corps Perdu<\/em>\u00a0is drawn from Aim\u00e9 C\u00e9saire\u2019s 1948 book of poetry, illustrated by Pablo Picasso. The album attends to a transitional moment in C\u00e9saire\u2019s poetic trajectory, when the mercurial fervor of youth begins to be reshaped by the elegiac introspection of time and maturity. Abrupt violence and unfulfilled desires permeate the ten-track suite, which unfolds in a fugal structure.<\/p>\r\n

In\u00a0To Become Liquid<\/em>,<\/strong>\u00a0a multisensory listening space is proposed in which performance, collective reading, and open dialogue converge. The aim is to generate an environment of critical reverie\u2014an intentional listening space that enables dreaming, thinking, imagining, and the articulation of voice and sound. The work allows for moments of irruption that disrupt flow or narrative, opening onto collective experiences of alternative modes of listening and foregrounding nonlinear forms of thought and perception.<\/p>\r\n

The performance emerges from a sustained reflection on collective reading and intentional listening. Reading is approached as a form of listening and observation, while listening itself is articulated as an active, non-passive engagement with sound and the surrounding world.<\/p>\r\nDuring\u00a0To Become Liquid,\u00a0<\/em>pages or fragments from a body of texts are circulated among the audience, inviting participants to read aloud at any moment throughout the performance. The intention is to cultivate an active, collaborative space that resists disengaged or purely relaxed modes of reception, fostering instead a shared and attentive participation.","event_category":76,"event_show_only_own_date":false,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":false,"_event_price-min":5,"_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/hangar.org\/ca\/agenda-hangar\/to-become-liquid\/","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/hangar.org\/es\/agenda-hangar\/to-become-liquid\/","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/hangar.org\/en\/agenda-hangar\/to-become-liquid\/","event_contact_email":"luciana@hangar.org","event_apply_email":"https:\/\/www.entrapolis.com\/entrades\/lamin-fofana-en-hangar-to-be-made-instrument-4","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Hangar","abe_event_category":"Concert","start":"2026-01-21 19:00:00","end":"2026-01-21 20:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-01-21 19:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/53811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/53811\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/76"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=53811"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=53811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
