A night of poetry, performance, critical polemic and experimental soundscapes. From 6.30pm.
Adnan al-Sayegh (born 1955 in Al-Kufa, Iraq), is one
of the most original voices from the generation of Iraqi poets known as
the Eighties Movement. His poetry, crafted with elegance, and sharp as
an arrowhead, carries an intense passion for freedom love and beauty.
Adnan uses his words as a weapon to denounce the devastation of war and
the horrors of dictatorship. For the Dron Festival he performs 'Mirrors' in collaboration with Dron artist Jill Rock.
Cos Chapman (electronic soundscapes) began his
working life as an Oceanographer. Throughout this time he experimented
extensively with sound, using modified reel-to-reel and self-built
devices; after 12 years he went to Lancaster University to study Music,
Technology and Theatre. While there he began to pursue his interest in
cross art-form collaborations and soundtracks.
Douglas Park, U.K based and internationally active
visual artist, author (of literary prose and critical essays), as well
as exhibition curator (and increasingly all practices combined),
delivers a monologue from inside the Dron.
Jaime Valtierra‘s work covers the use of different
media, from traditional techniques in painting, drawing and etching, to
performance, digital media and installation art. His practice is that of
an evolving method which generates links between conventional art
practice, computer generated graphics and installation art.
