Undercurrent 528
Undercurrent 528
Director
Undercurrent 528 draws on Stephen Dwoskin's complex relationship with care, desire and everyday rituals as made visible in his vast oeuvre and reorients it from Ifekoya's perspective. A series of invitations were sent out by Ifekoya to their extended black, queer and trans community for a dancer, a drummer, a gathering around breath and breathing and a sonic response to these images. This new video work explores the relationship between documentation and liveness, opening portals of intimacy by bringing people together through different spaces and time. It is part of a series of works exploring the reparative dimension of sound and its potential as a gateway to alternate aspects of our reality.

Cinematography
A short film exploring the polyphony of collectivity in the desires, motivations and stories that foreground the histories and present(s) of Black British sound. Collective Hum documents a collective in practice through the operation of B.O.S.S using multiple narration, overlapping voices and the sound of group interviews, meetings and events to create a polyphonic score to soundtrack images of the ‘collective bodies, kinaesthetic experience and gestural language’ of sound system culture.

When did you last rest? When did you float weightlessly, your aching muscles soothed by lapping water?

He? She? They? Don’t matter! A wry and knowing song about gender with a glitchy DIY aesthetic.
