Every Sunday After Midnight
Every Sunday After Midnight brings together Maktabat Akkaz and Skylarking With Maya for a collaborative residency at Goldsmiths CCA, led by Aziz Motawa and Maya Ramnarine. Bringing a travelling artist library into conversation with community radio, the project explores the archive as a living, collective space shaped through books, sound, broadcasting, and their reverberations.
During their residency they’ll transform Goldsmiths CCA into a living public resource for collective research, publishing, listening, and broadcasting — aiming to create an accessible space where artists, students, and local communities can exchange knowledge through books, sound, conversation, and participation. Their residency will cultivate an evolving archive shaped by its contributors, foregrounding alternative forms of learning, cultural memory, and communal knowledge production.
