SUMMARY:Zain Alam at Silo City: I am sounding a sacred space
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 1\, 2023\n7–8 pm: Performance at Silo City\, Marine A with Zain Alam\, Dayatra Amber\, and Zaimah Habeeb (aka Zaimah Beloved)\n8:30 pm: Refreshments and conversation with Zain Alam and S Shiraz Ali at Duende\nFree or suggested donation\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to welcome back Zain Alam for a special performance of his work\, I am sounding a sacred space. Utilizing Silo City’s immense resonance\, Alam and Buffalo’s own Dayatra Amber and Zaimah Habeeb (aka Zaimah Beloved) will each recite the azaan (the Islamic call to prayer)\, which Alam will distill over its duration into tonal content alone. The performance will be followed by a conversation between Alam and scholar S. Shiraz Ali on the 2nd floor of Duende. \nI hope to bring a lived sense of sound in the Islamic tradition essential for the project’s aesthetic vision: drawing attention away from the meaning of the Arabic words alone and to the rich\, diverse traditions of recitation\, heard as music in and of themselves. How can sound create sacred space\, rather than vice-versa? In the long reverb and comforting resonances of Silo City\, the workshop performance revealed to me the healing properties of sound—particularly sound carried forward by natural echoes and amplified by nothing more than the resonant qualities of the space. I’m looking forward to incorporating this knowledge into a finalized performance\, thinking deeply about how vocal practices in religious tradition can be taken outside of their usual institutional context and used in pursuit of creating sacred\, healing spaces of our own. – Zain Alam \nThe performance will begin at 7 pm at Marina A in Silo City. Enter Marina A through the back door in the garden of Duende. After a brief break\, we invite you to the 2nd floor of Duende for a conversation between Alam and S. Shiraz Ali. \nDocumentation\nThe following video showcases excerpts from the live performance that took place on September 1\, 2023. \n\nAbout the artist\, featured performers\, and speakers\nZain Alam is an artist and musician of Indian-Pakistani origin based in Brooklyn\, NY. Described as “a unique intersection\, merging the cinematic formality of Bollywood and geometric repetition of Islamic art\,” his recording project Humeysha began during his year working as an oral historian for the 1947 Partition Archive. His work is a project of translation using contemporary pop forms\, found sound\, and oral history as means of investigating one’s position in an outside tradition or community. Alam’s practice extends his sonic vision into video\, performance\, and writing. His works are braided together by a passion for the borrowed voice\, re/de-contextualization\, and bricolage — for how a personal mosaic of sound can empower minority and marginalized to engage in self-creation on their own terms. His essays have been published in Miami Rail\, Buzzfeed\, and The New Yorker\, and Humeysha has been covered by the New York Times\, Vice\, and Village Voice. His performances have been staged at venues including Public Arts\, Webster Hall\, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Alam has most recently completed fellowships with Bruce High Quality Foundation\, Marble House\, and South Asian American Digital Archive. \nAlam was a Workspace Resident in Spring 2022\, where he first worked on the project at Silo City. See a brief video of him talking about the project here: \n\nDayatra Amber is an Artist\, Educator\, Word Holistic Practitioner and mother of three\, who resides in Buffalo\, NY.

DayatraAmber has performed as a Spoken Word Artist since 1998. She published her first book of Spoken Word Art in 2016 entitled Liberta. Her passion for community has lead her to a movement & radio program called Project Access to AFreeKa\, where she serves as a community organizer and personality affectionately known as DJ Bullet. \nZaimah Habeeb\, aka Zaimah Beloved is a professional singer and songwriter. She has previously released 4 studio albums that utilize catchy and beautiful melodies conjoined with clever lyrics\, to tackle challenging subjects\, such as social justice issues and God consciousness. She is presently in the studio to complete her 5th studio album\, which she calls “an album of a lifetime”. Zaimah also works as an online elementary Arabic teacher with the Islamic Learning Institute\, as well as being in her first year as a Qur’an student pursuing her Ijaazah in Hafs. Zaimah has stated she is most proud of her work as creator of “Tajweed from the Cradle to the Grave”\, which is a tajweed and fluency tutoring service\, provided free of charge to children and elderly students who are currently at the beginning and intermediate levels of Arabic fluency and Tajweed. \nS. Shiraz Ali is a scholar of Islamic intellectual and cultural history. He is currently a doctoral candidate in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at University of California\, Berkeley\, where he researches the development of philosophy and rhetoric in Muslim South Asia. Ali has contributed to initiatives like PeaceNiche/The Second Floor\, Matnsaz\, Zer Zabar Paesh\, and the 2018 documentary Salam: The First ****** Noble Laureate. He holds a master’s in the study of religion from Harvard University. He was born and raised in Karachi. \nThis event is presented with Lyceum at Silo City.

SUMMARY:Silo City: WHY HERE WHY NOW by Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:Silo City: WHY HERE WHY NOW by Jodi Lynn Maracle\nAugust 23rd\, 6–8pm\n@ Silo City\, Marina A\nFree and open to the public \nJoin Squeaky Wheel at Silo City for Jodi Lynn Maracle’s multi-media installation WHY HERE WHY NOW\, an exploration of and inquiry into the relationship between body\, land and language. This one-day installation highlights a history that prioritizes not only Indigenous\, Haudenosaunee\, and Onöndowa’ga:’ experiences and relationships in the past\, but prioritizes the contemporary relationship of Haudenosaunee peoples to this land and the stories of this land. What does it mean to move about this land and remember what was done? What does it mean to live with the specter of “Indian” at every turn? \nBorn and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, Jodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka mother\, artist\, teacher and language learner. Jodi utilizes Haudenosaunee material language and techniques\, such as hand tanning deer hides\, and corn husk twining\, in conversation with sound scapes\, projections\, video\, and performance to interrogate questions of place\, power\, erasure\, story making\, and responsibility to the land. She has shown her work throughout Dish With One Spoon Territory in site specific installation performances such as the Mush Hole Project at the defunct Mohawk Institute Residential School (home of the Woodland Cultural Centre) in Brantford\, ON\, as well as the Gardiner Museum in Toronto\, ON\, Artpark in Lewiston\, NY\, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center\, in Buffalo\, NY. Her research as a PhD student at the University at Buffalo focuses on Haudenosaunee material culture\, language\, land and birth practices. Of her accomplishments\, she is most proud to hear her son speak his Mohawk language each day. \nThis event is presented as part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency. The Workspace Residency is a project-based residency for artists and researchers working in media arts. Open to applicants from Buffalo and across the U.S.\, the residency connects artists and researchers with resources\, time\, and studio space to support the creation of new work or to continue ongoing projects.

SUMMARY:Silo City Reading Series (with Mary Helena Clark)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 3\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Silo City \nSqueaky Wheel co-presents an edition of Just Buffalo’s signature summer reading series with a special screening by artist Mary Helena Clark. Clark will be journeying to Buffalo to present her hypnotic\, uncanny 20 minute film Delphi Falls\, which recently had its premiere at the 2017 Whitney Biennial\, and which Clark worked on during her Workspace residency at Squeaky Wheel in 2016. Join us at Silo City as we welcome back the artist for a night of dreamy music\, poetry\, and film\, including Aidan Ryan\, Cages\, and Colorado-based poet and operator of the Dream Delivery Service\, Mathias Svalina. \nMary Helena Clark is an artist working in film\, video\, and installation. Her work uses the language of collage\, often bringing together disparate subjects and styles that suggest an exterior logic or code\, to explore dissociative states through cinema. Clark’s films have screened at the 2017 Whitney Biennial (New York)\, the Wexner Center for the Arts (Columbus)\, Grazer Kunstverein (Graz\, Austria)\, Anthology Film Archives (New York)\, Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago)\, National Gallery of Art (Washington DC)\, the Swedish Film Institute (Stockholm)\, and at the International Film Festival Rotterdam\, the New York Film Festival\, the Toronto International Film Festival\, BFI London Film Festival\, the Hong Kong International Film Festival\, and BAMcinématek\, among others.
