Stan Douglas: ISDN

Centred on the film “ISDN” (2022), initially conceived for the 59th Venice Biennale, the exhibition presents a vibrant dialogue between different cultures and social movements, portrayed via a fictional musical performance between rappers from London and Cairo, whose verses address key issues such as race, class, love, identity and justice. “ISDN” is a large-scale two-channel video installation that explores music as a form of cross-continental cultural collaboration titled after a technology, introduced in the 1980s, used to transmit high-quality digital audio over copper phone lines.
