Welcome to a conversation and listening session between Tentative Transmits and Meira Ahmemulic.
The platform Tentative Transmits will introduce their work and research about politics of memory, archives and storytelling, as well as post-socialist transitions.
Saturday’s program includes a conversation and listening session with the artist Meira Ahmemulic, featuring the premiere of her newly commissioned sound work När moster gav SKF fingret (translation, “When aunt gave SKF the finger”).
När moster gav SKF fingret is about the haunting power of words and cursing as resistance. Ahmemulic is inspired by curses from the villages Gusinje and Plav in Montenegro, situated in the shadow of Prokletije – the Accursed Mountains.
The conversation and listening session will be in Swedish.

Through concepts such as hauntology, post-memory and off-modern, Tentative Transmits together with its collaborators seek to put the relationship of archive and narrative into question.
