\r\n\r\nRanda Mirza i Aya Metwalli presenten Strange Land: A Thousand Solitudes<\/i> el pr\u00f2xim 19 de novembre a la Nau B1 de Roca Umbert F\u00e0brica de les Arts. Aquesta performance audiovisual, reformulada especialment per al festival Panor\u00e0mic en el marc del bicentenari de la fotografia, explora les interseccions entre la mem\u00f2ria, la hist\u00f2ria colonial i les pr\u00e0ctiques arxiv\u00edstiques en el m\u00f3n \u00e0rab.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nA partir de documents fotogr\u00e0fics de l'Arab Image Foundation, l'artista visual Randa Mirza i la compositora i int\u00e8rpret Aya Metwalli construeixen una experi\u00e8ncia en directe en qu\u00e8 imatge i so s'entrellacen en un proc\u00e9s d'improvisaci\u00f3. La pe\u00e7a reflexiona sobre la hist\u00f2ria de la fotografia, la materialitat de les imatges i la capacitat dels arxius per generar noves lectures del passat. El resultat \u00e9s un viatge sensorial que transforma l'arxiu en una narrativa viva, oberta i en constant evoluci\u00f3.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\nRanda Mirza (Beirut, 1979) \u00e9s una artista visual que treballa amb fotografia, v\u00eddeo, instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 i performance. Des d'una perspectiva feminista i decolonial, la seva pr\u00e0ctica q\u00fcestiona els sistemes hegem\u00f2nics de pensament i les representacions dominants. En fer visibles les construccions simb\u00f2liques, socials i pol\u00edtiques contempor\u00e0nies, interroga la mirada i els contextos en qu\u00e8 les imatges s\u00f3n produ\u00efdes i rebudes, traient a la llum all\u00f2 que ha estat oblidat o deliberadament ocult. La seva obra se situa entre el documental, l'expressi\u00f3 personal i l'escriptura art\u00edstica, entenent l'art com un espai de reflexi\u00f3, reparaci\u00f3 i resist\u00e8ncia davant la viol\u00e8ncia.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Randa Mirza and Aya Metwalli present Strange Land: A Thousand Solitudes<\/em> on November 19 at Nau B1, Roca Umbert F\u00e0brica de les Arts. This audiovisual performance, specially reworked for the Panor\u00e0mic festival as part of the bicentenary of photography, explores the intersections between memory, colonial history and archival practices in the Arab world.<\/p>\r\n

Drawing on photographic documents from the Arab Image Foundation, visual artist Randa Mirza and composer and performer Aya Metwalli create a live experience in which image and sound intertwine through a process of improvisation. The piece reflects on the history of photography, the materiality of images and the ability of archives to generate new readings of the past. The result is a sensory journey that transforms the archive into a living, open and constantly evolving narrative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Randa Mirza<\/h3>\r\n

Randa Mirza (Beirut, 1979) is a visual artist working with photography, video, installation and performance. From a feminist and decolonial perspective, her practice questions hegemonic systems of thought and dominant forms of representation. By making contemporary symbolic, social and political constructions visible, she interrogates the gaze and the contexts in which images are produced and received, bringing to light what has been forgotten or deliberately concealed. Her work lies between documentary, personal expression and artistic writing, understanding art as a space for reflection, reparation and resistance in the face of violence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Aya Metwalli<\/h3>\r\n

Aya Metwalli (Cairo, 1988) is a singer, composer and performer. Her practice explores the voice as a space where raw expression meets electronic transformation. Influenced by Cairo\u2019s intense urban soundscape, she combines Arabic maqam<\/em>, experimental electronics and noise<\/em> to create immersive performances in which the voice is pushed to the limits of its expressive possibilities.<\/p>","event_category":197,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/www.rocaumbert.com\/ca\/agenda\/c\/3918-randa-mirza-i-aya-metwalli-strange-land-a-tho.html","_event_web_es":"","_event_web_en":"","event_contact_email":"","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Roca Umbert","abe_event_category":"Performance","start":"2026-11-19 19:00:00","end":"2026-11-19 20:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-11-19 19:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/60415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/160"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/60415\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/197"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=60415"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=60415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
