The evening brings together a live reading by Nayara Leite and a dance by alphie hubbard, followed by a conversation between duo Nayara Leite & Kaeto Sweeney moderated by Lara Okafor. The conversation explores the duo’s practice through their latest work, Songs for, and their interest in art and music as forms of resistance.

“Give me a human drama. The personal is so political.”

This lyric from Human Drama (Planningtorock, 2013) encapsulates the core of Nayara Leite & Kaeto Sweeney’s latest work Songs for. Together, they explore how intimate, embodied experience becomes politicised within contemporary media landscapes shaped by the global rise of far right-wing governments. The duo transforms the gallery room into an audiovisual space where song and music function as both narrative and acts of resistance.

The event is free and open for all.
