Everything Poetic - douniah Listening Session + screening

Everything Poetic

On August 1st. interdisziplinary singer douniah is taking you on a journey through a selection of favourite pieces of her record collection, all around the topic „poetry“. We’ll end the evening with an exclusive screening of the incredible short film „emi: freedomsong“ by Tayo Rapoport and Rohan Ayinde.

•ęmí: freedomsong• by Rohan Ayinde and Tayo Rapoport is an audio-visual installation inspired by bell hooks’ All About Love and Camille Sapara Barton’s Tending Grief. Reflecting on the Yoruba concept of ęmí {the breath that animates life} freedomsong invites audiences to connect with their voices and find the courage and language to transform their individual and collective grief into a culture of love and radical change.

douniah is an interdisciplinary artist exploring waves of sound and poetry. Her sound is heavily influenced by Black American music, North African Gnaoua music and everything in her mom's cassette collection while growing up between Hamburg and Agadir.

With a strong, reflective voice, she sheds light on herself and her surroundings, creating art that resonates and lingers—a thoughtful echo for her audience to connect with.
