Lindsay Packer: Call and Response: TRANSPOSITION with Anaïs Maviel

Lindsay Packer premieres her second work as a 2019 Artist-In-Residence, a collaboration with composer and performer Anaïs Maviel. Revealing the subliminal complexity within the synaesthetic wave behaviors of light and sound, Packer and Maviel conjure the harmonics inherent in their fast-traveling wave forms.

ISSUE presents Moor Mother, the viscerally charged output of Philadelphia-based musician, poet, visual artist, and activist Camae Ayewa + new work from Jerusalem In My Heart. The evening spans both projects’ enduring interest in exploring both ancestral and contemporary narratives through powerful sound.
