Archival Frequencies: Sonic Session III with Ayesha Hameed and Tom Hirst

Words by: Black Archives Sweden Published on: 6 May, 2025

In this third and last session for the season, artist Ayesha Hameed and musician Tom Hirst perform their new work ‘We are in flood’ (2024), exploring subaquatic bodies of water as sites of grief, suffering and kinship. Through these water ecosystems and adjacent worlds, the piece weaves together echoes of voices from past works ‘Black Atlantis: The End of Eating Everything’ and ‘Brown Atlantis Radio’ as Hameed and Hirst continue their explorations of the Atlantic and Indian oceans and the imagined Kumari Kandam, a lost Tamil continent that was the cradle of all human civilisation.
