Adam Farah will be streaming a live walk through the city they were born in and the borough they were raised in – London, Brent. During the event they might ask questions of the audience about desires, methodologies, memories, searching and desperation.
The event is a practice and test in momentational ode-ing. A form of working and witnessing inspired by Mariah Carey’s theorisations around ‘the moment’ as a poetic disidentification with time (Carey, M. 2011).
Commissioned by Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture as part of Brent Biennial and supported by Art Fund
