To launch Reverberations Mixtape, artists Chitra Ganesh, members of Rojava Film Commune Şerif Çiçek and Diyar Hesso, and artist Hồng-An Trương will discuss their works from the project with mixtape organizers denisse andrade, Michele Chinitz, and Mia Curran.

Reverberations Mixtape gathers artists, writers, and scholars through the format of audio fragments that ruminate on, resound with, and respond to the question of how to build futurity as a collective practice. In building a mixtape, we foreground the possibilities of sound as a transportation device for liberation and community building.

The project includes audio tracks by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme; Ersin Çelik and Şerif Çiçek, members of the Rojava Film Commune; Chitra Ganesh; Bhanu Kapil; Tanvi Solanki; and Hồng-An Trương.
