Florence Peel Centre

<p>In anticipation of his performance at Polyphonic Social 2019 Liquid Architecture, Writing and Concepts and Un Magazine present Chino Amobi, who will lead the audience through his work, ideas, and art in the form of an audio-visual artist talk. All are welcome.</p><p>Born from parents of Nigerian descent, Virginia-based sound-artist, writer and founder of NON Worldwide, Chino Amobi is one of the most distinctive experimental artists of our time. His album Airport Music For Black Folk subverted 'ambient music's' white male subjectivity via a tongue-in-cheek reference to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports. It's follow-up Paradiso addressed "existential anxieties and mortal fears in epic, violent terms" via "blasted noise collages to lilting Latin rhythms, noisy ’80s industrial to thrashing surf rock, and even sun-kissed pop." Amobi's recent novel Eroica, is a science fiction narrative in the Afro-Futurist tradition, situated between history and myth. Amobi's vision with NON Worldwide was to break down Eurocentric perceptions of dance and experimental music, focusing on African and African diasporic artists to bend music-industry conventions that are still largely colonial. The label became home to artists including Nkisi, FAKA, Elysia Crampton, Angel-Ho and more, making political sound, born out of histories and bloodlines given little voice before.</p>
