If you’re in the know, there’s a kinda secret but incredible curated playlist of over 150 songs that stands as one possible companion soundtrack to the equally marvelous and expansive yet incisive writing in Daphne Brooks’s new book. It leads off with recorded blues pathbreaker Mamie Smith, her showbiz vocals serving the good kind of crazy, and closes out nine hours later with the uncompromisingly glam truth-teller “our Lady of Lemonade” (9). Bessie and Nina and Eartha and Aretha (or ReRe, in Brooks’s preferred sobriquet), Abbey and Billie and Sarah and Dinah shout and croon, melismatize, rasp, and declaim. The sisters with instrumental prowess are also here, Mary Lou swinging jazz “automotivity” (90) on gas-pedal keys, and Sister Rosetta wielding her Gibson Les Paul like a blessed knife beside fellow travelers of the fretboard including the elusive 1930s blues duo Geeshie Wiley and Elvie (L.V.) Thomas. On to the new vanguard whose “fade to black” sounds (369), after visual artist Carrie Mae Weems’s insight into Black women’s potentiality, rise with Rhiannon Giddens, Valerie June, and Cécile McLorin Salvant — artists Brooks follows through reclaimed minstrel song, strains of “Affrilachian” (550) mysticism, and the jazzwoman’s cool regard for the monstrous. This playlist streams online1 as testament to the ongoing shimmer and breathtaking breadth of Black women in popular music, and to Brooks’s arms-in-open-embrace practice of archival engagement. To encounter this text, one must also encounter the music.
如果你知道，有一个秘密但令人难以置信的150多首歌的策划播放列表，可以作为达芙妮·布鲁克斯新书中同样奇妙、广阔而深刻的文字的配乐。这首歌以布鲁斯音乐的开创者玛米·史密斯(Mamie Smith)开场，她在娱乐圈的歌声让人感到疯狂，并在9个小时后以毫不妥协的迷人真话“our Lady of Lemonade”(9)结束。贝西和尼娜、艾萨和艾瑞莎(或布鲁克斯喜欢的绰号ReRe)、艾比和比莉、莎拉和黛娜大声喊叫、低吟、吟唱、粗声细语、大声疾呼。演奏乐器技艺高超的姐妹们也在这里，玛丽·卢(Mary Lou)在油门踏板上摇摆着爵士乐的“动感”(automotive)(1990)，罗塞塔修女(Sister Rosetta)挥舞着她的吉普森Les Paul钢琴，就像一把被上帝佑佑的刀一样，身旁还有20世纪30年代难以捉摸的布鲁斯二人组吉希·威利(Geeshie Wiley)和埃尔维(Elvie)。托马斯。在视觉艺术家Carrie Mae Weems对黑人女性潜力的洞察之后，伴随着Rhiannon Giddens, Valerie June和c McLorin Salvant的崛起，来到了新先锋的“淡出黑人”之声(369页)。布鲁克斯跟随这些艺术家们，穿越了复兴的吟诗人歌曲，“阿夫拉契亚”(550页)神秘主义的旋律，以及爵士女对怪物的冷静关注。这个播放列表在网上播放，证明了黑人女性在流行音乐中的持续闪光和惊人的广度，也证明了布鲁克斯张开双臂拥抱档案的做法。要与这段文字相遇，就必须与音乐相遇。

In Oona Libens’s poetic-scientific theatre of objects, nonhuman actors take center stage in a universe that hangs together with wires and projection apparatuses. Her playful lecture performances resonate with ideas from contemporary ecocritical and new materialist debates.

Lara Stevens, D. Varney
An accomplished dancer, acrobat, and physical theatre performer, Hanna Cormick became ill in 2014 with a trifecta of rare genetic conditions that make her severely allergic to pollutants in the air — smoke, detergents, and food particles — and her bones and internal organs prone to dislocation. In January 2020, during Australia’s summer of unprecedented bushfires, Cormick staged The Mermaid, risking her life to make a performance about the climate emergency and how we are all vulnerable bodies at risk in a changing environment.

Katia Arfara
Interweaving first-person narratives, archives, autobiography, film, and live music, Lola Arias shifts her audience’s attention towards the nature of memory, revealing the inadequacy of binaries such as fact and fiction, truth and imagination. Arias’s major works explore the construction of collective and personal memory in relation to the economic, social, cultural, and psychological influences of the military dictatorships on contemporary Argentinian and Chilean societies.

In a concert of two sound worlds, one acoustic and the other electroacoustic, it is difficult to balance both sonically. When texts, lights, gestures, and movements from different artistic domains such as theatre, dance, or cinema combine with the music this coexistence creates, the result is a new language: the language of Constança Capdeville.

For 100 days in 2015, performance artist Nut Brother dragged a vacuum cleaner through Beijing and formed the collected smog particles into a solid brick. Dust Project brings into sharp relief the harm related to the necessary act of breathing and the effects of anthropogenic climate change. As air quality declines, breathing marks the everyday entanglement with particulate matter and its attendant violences as a performance of endurance.
