Synopsis

Jalan Raya invites audiences to walk and talk with place histories, embodied memory and the personal/collective wisdoms we have learnt from spaces we have itinerantly inhabited, passed through and been attentive to.  

 

In gently observing the interdependencies and entanglements across the constellations of inheritance, kinship making, the non-linearity of healing, the work is presented as a gathering—as sites of activation, unfolding visual conversation, exercises in empathy, generosity and vulnerability guided by pathways we would like to breathe into, co-create and walk with together.   

 

Through a series of gatherings, performances and artist-led workshops accompanied by a participatory mixed media installation, the work offers invitations into the shelters where the tenderness existing between forgiveness and grudges, grief and love reside, where knowledge that might have been left in footnotes, marginalia, fragments of hand-me-down knowledge, folklore and forgotten archival images have spaces to emerge, breathe and be held.  

Advisory:
  • The performance will require the audience to move between designated locations in a low-light environment. 

  • Audience members will remain standing or walking throughout the performance. As part of the experience, they will be expected to climb stairs as well. 

  • There will be no latecomer entry or re-admission allowed for this performance. Please arrive 5mins before the start of the performance.

Artist Information

Zarina Muhammad

Website | Instagram

Zarina Muhammad is an artist, educator and researcher whose practice is deeply entwined with a critical reexamination of oral histories, ethnographic literature and other historiographic accounts about Southeast Asia. Working at the intersections of installation, moving image, sound, photography, text and performance, Zarina’s practice has been interested in the broader contexts of ecocultural identities and interactions, indigenous ontologies and the cultural translations within myth-making to seek out a more-than-human multidimensional understanding of our place in the world.
