Событие «NON: Legacy Systems»

NON is a multinational collective of artists from Africa and the African diaspora that expressly aims to articulate and challenge visible and invisible structures of power through the primary medium of sound. For this event at the New Museum, NON cofounders Chino Amobi, Angel-Ho, and Nkisi will perform individually and then together as a trio for the first time. Premiering new video work and making use of visual signs associated with both corporate brand identity and militant solidarity, the group will create a space for a concept of borderless “NON citizenry” that aligns with their mission to challenge binaries and boundaries across virtual and physical realms. With music that resists genres and incorporates samples, global beats, distortion, dissonance, and ambiance, NON describes their sound as “a weapon to destabilize and de-territorialize our audience; through this process of sonic reclamation and reterritorialization, we redirect the listeners’ attention to our message.”
