In Conversation: Eunjo Lee and Zaiba Jabbar + Live Sonic Performance and Screening
Eunjo Lee, and curator Zaiba Jabbar, explored Eunjo’s latest work Before the Shadow Taught The Sun, currently on show at Goldsmiths CCA. They discussed the potentiality of digital media for world building and narrativising pressing contemporary issues such as our relationship to the natural world, and broader universal themes of cycles of destruction and rebirth. The event is an opportunity to explore Lee’s striking use of aspects of world mythologies to create powerfully symbolic stories that bridge science fiction and fantasy.
The talk was followed by a special screening of Before the Shadow Taught The Sun, with a live performance by musicians Steph Hartop and Juliet Merchant who created the score for the film.
Talk: 7pm–7:30pm
Performance: 7:45–8:15pm
