"Sound & Word" goes on with a poetry reading by Kwame Write exploring what time means when human attachment to its function is deconstructed. The artist looks at the difference between Western mechanical and African emotional time and makes monologues engaging the concept of physical clock units juxtaposed with time based on African electronics.
Field recordings and dubstep snippets by Betty Stürmer are going to interact with the spoken poetry.
DJ Betty Stürmer aka Betty Party will close up the night with "Call it Soulstep".
