"Past and Future Forms" is a container for collaborative projects initiated in 2020, which have since taken flight into myriad directions. Reflecting the non-static body within the context of self-defined notions of time as shaped by the geography of foreign policy, crude oil, and water, “Past and Future Forms” uses the Epic of Gilgamesh as a departure point in a series of performances that excavate the elusive body across time and space.

“At the Edge of the Sea” is a transdisciplinary collaboration between artist-scholar Dena A. Al-Adeeb and interdisciplinary sound artist Sholeh Asgary. In "At the Edge of the Sea," Al-Adeeb and Asgary use the Epic of Gilgamesh as a departure point in conducting oral research through a series of community events, resulting in an ongoing project that incorporates performance, multimedia video, and sound as mediums to excavate the elusive body across time and space.

“The Gates” is a new sound performance work by Leyya Mona Tawil. Tawil uses voice, effects, microphones, light, and raw materials to simultaneously build and obscure a sound and movement scene in real time.
