ATAMATA II by Jessika Khazrik w/ Jimmy Blue Star, Hexorcismos, Matriark, Marwa Belhaj Youssef, Rasha Abbas, Safa, Via App
Amplifying an urgent search for collective transcendence and transformational infrastructure, ATAMATA brings together a spectral club exhibition with a 4-day South and East-oriented music and performance club program full of apparitions, epiphanic intermissions and incomputable assemblies. Concocted by artist, DJ, technologist and educatress Jessika Khazrik with live performances by friends and allies, the techno rave performance series and exhibition re-addresses club spaces as templar and serendipitous places of techno-political congregation and collective attunement with an ability to re-create and host different times and desires into the present. Through revisiting the unifying and anti-militarist history of techno in the past, present and future tenses and the potential of club spaces as social spaces of transclusive ritual, communal solace and serendipitous bonding, ATAMATA attempts to playfully delve into the links between the collectivity through anonymity attained in clubs and that experienced in spaces dedicated to collective strategy, solidarity and study.

Bergen Assembly 2022
For the fourth edition of Bergen Assembly, curator Yasmine d’O. invites the public to join a quest in search of a seven-sided solid body called the Heptahedron. Her search is guided by seven enigmatic characters that she encounters along the way: the Professor, the Bonimenteur, the Moped Rider, the Fortune Teller, an Acrobats, the Coalman and the Tourist.
These seven characters lend their names to seven exhibitions spread across different venues in the city of Bergen from September 8th to November 6th, 2022. Each exhibition brings together three distinct artistic positions, offering a multiplicity of perspectives.
The fourth edition of Bergen Assembly is the first to have been convened by an artist, the French artist Saâdane Afif. Afif offers a narrative, rather than thematic, structure for the twenty-one artistic positions to explore the characters to which they will give shape.
Hexorcismos
Safa
Mhamad Safa is a musician, architect and researcher, based between London and Beirut. Safa’s work focuses on multi-scalar spatial conditions and their sonic make-ups. He explores their intersections with aural legacies of traditional and subcultural practices, as well as environments of conflict and violence. He conveys these auditory inquiries by assembling sound design, micro-sampling, algorithmic sound technology, psychoacoustics, field recordings, and their graphic interpretations. Safa's latest release "Ibtihalat" on UIQ explores the rhythmic traditions of rituals from North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, introducing processes of musical synthesis and predictive algorithms that speculates on the future of dance culture.
