MAJLES

MAJLES
—Workshop with Sholeh Asgary

DESCRIPTION
𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐋𝐄𝐒 is a series of sound, silence, and movement-based workshops, audience-participatory scores, and collective reflections that seek to build new governance through individual creativity in relation to each other. Each 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐋𝐄𝐒 session is generated from a score that situates the body as a site of knowledge, enacting movement and voice from and within the physical place they occupy to explore complex relationships to space. “Majles” is an Arabic and Persian term that translates to council, which can imply government, mourning, or celebration, and in this context, refers to the creative contract as a form of decentralized governance. 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐋𝐄𝐒 includes transdisciplinary collaborations with other programs, collectives, and beings.⁣⁣
