May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth
Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst hosts "May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth" by the artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme.
Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Limmatstrasse 270, 8005 Zürich, Switzerland
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s multipart project “May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth” (2020–ongoing) examines how communities bear witness to experiences of violence, loss, displacement, and forced migration.
Since the early 2010s, Abbas and Abou-Rahme have collected online recordings of everyday people singing and dancing in communal spaces in Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen.
The work brings digital traces of these performing bodies together with new performances created by the artists with dancer Rima Baransi and electronic musicians Haykal, Julmud, and Makimakkuk, working in Ramallah, Palestine.
