LIVE PERFORMANCES

BEAST NEST

RECAPTURING MEMORIES OF THE BLACK ARK Beast Nest: Live Musical Performance A diverse selection of Bay Area musicians activate Recapturing Memories of the Black Ark Thursday, April 6, 2017, 7:00 PM Beast Nest is the primary performance vehicle for Sharmi Basu, a queer South Asian woman of color focused on creating experimental music as a means of decolonizing musical language. The Creatrix is a sound exploration of multidisciplinary Fanciulla Gentile. Her work considers the ways that post-human beings investigate birth, death and destruction. Through this speculative lens her soundscapes are documents of the biomechanical and temporal nature of everything in the universe and an ode to the genesis that binds us all across dimensions. Gentile is from San Francisco.
