Sound-based performance with Damien Ajavon

This sound-based performance draws on the ideas of Christina Sharpe’s concept of “climate” and Tina Campt’s Listening to Images to explore how histories of labor, craft, and care can be felt through sound and movement. Sharpe’s “climate” speaks to the social and historical conditions that shape lived experience. These ideas are expressed through soundscapes evoking weather, tools, and machines, which serve as symbols of endurance, making, and survival.

Campt’s perspective on “listening” invites a deeper engagement with craft beyond the visual, encouraging attention to its quieter resonances. Acts like stitching or knitting are approached as living archives that carry memory, skill, and resilience.

Using a domestic knitting machine, live sound amplification, and immersive visual elements, the performance brings these ideas into a tactile and sonic space. Through repeated gestures and layered textures, it invites the audience to listen attentively and reflect on the connections between labor, care, and collective memory.
