Dance, Dance, Revolution Live Visual Performance - Vivo Media Arts Center:
The LIVE Biennale, hosted at Vivo Media Arts Center, organized Dance Dance Revolution. During this audio-visual affair, I provided live visuals for a talented musician's ambient electronic performance and four other DJs. The primary objective of this event was to illuminate the ongoing revolution in Iran and celebrate dance as a powerful means of protest and resilience. Additionally, the event served as a fundraiser, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting a young Iranian artist's music education in Berlin.
In my visual set, I combined videos from Iranian protests with my own digital creations, portraying themes of resistance, solidarity, strength, courage, shared grief, and hope.
