Diasporic Life: Poetic Sonic Reading w/ Juliana Huxtable

Friday 20. June at 19:00 - 22:00

Metro54, Amsterdam

On Friday 20th June, we are ecstatic to be joined by Juliana Huxtable as part of the Diasporic Life public program, for a Poetic Sonic Reading. Juliana will be reading from her soon-to-be published novella, which moves around the club, sound, lived experience, fiction and erotics.

Using the structures of music as mediums in her multi-‐media universe, Juliana Huxtable is a DJ and musician singular in her approach. Where her visual art and poetry navigate the complexification of desire in a life increasingly mediated by technology, her music utilizes the sounds of technology itself to construct parallel realities to be inhabited and embodied in rhythm and harmonic tableaux.

Her sets skilfully deploy the notion of sampling, and re‐blogging as DJ strategies, ecstatically mixing an array of influences that frolic at the boundary of genre‐intuition and experimentation. At once an assertion of freedom and an ode to the evolutionary structure of electronic music subcultures, she aspires to the sublime in what can often only be described as witchcraft behind the decks; seance from the stage.
