Soh Bejeng Ndikung | Curator

This conversation negotiates between the visual and the aural in space, as well as corporeal aural rhetoric and corporeal visual rhetoric; getting granular on their (non-)hybridity and generative (non-)convergence, as Fred Moten would say. Looking at Satch Hoyt’s practice, but also his theory of the ‘Eternal Afro-Sonic Signifier’, Soh Bejeng Ndikung and Hoyt will deliberate on the migration of sound from the Middle Passage till this day, and look at sonority’s ability to possess people, objects, space and even time. As Hoyt puts it: “Sound acts as a major conduit in the preservation and continuum of culture”.
