In Between Spaces
Indie Idiosyncracies
Curated by THOMAS GLÄSSER in dialogue with SARAH EL MINIAWY
With KAMILYA JUBRAN, MATTHIAS MAINZ, SARAH EL MINIAWY, JOSS TURNBULL et al
European enthusiasm for pop music and club sounds from the Middle East has remained unbroken for several years. In Between Spaces: Indie Idiosyncracies, a music and discussion event running several days, organized by musician and curator Thomas Gläßer in dialogue with Egyptian-Algerian producer and music manager arah El Miniaway, takes a closer look at processes of intermingling between Arabic and Western music that have surged in alternative music scenes of many Arab cities in the last decades.
In a series of lectures and a panel, the symposium addresses intra-musical questions as much as discussing local contexts, production conditions, political parameters and the reception of Arabic music in various European contexts.
