Frequencies of Displacement by Tehran Contemporary Sounds

Frequencies of Displacement — Studio DB, May 16, Doors 21:00 Curated by Tehran Contemporary Sounds, Frequencies of Displacement is a concert series dedicated to electroacoustic and experimental music, sound art, and hybrid live practices—with a focus on artists connected to the Iranian and SWANA diaspora. The project doesn’t aim to construct belonging. It starts from a shared condition many artists work through: not fully fitting into scenes, markets, or fixed identities. Rather than treating this as lack, the series approaches it as a productive force. A space where dislocation, rupture, and difference shape the work itself. Across live sets and audiovisual performances, the program brings together voices that resist easy categorization—too unstable, too personal, too “unmarketable” for conventional circuits. Frequencies of Displacement opens a field of encounter: not to resolve these tensions, but to stay with them—and make them audible. This event is supported by Musicboard Berlin. Lineup: Rojin Sharafi (Live) Above Our Waters: Audiovisual Performance by Qusay Awad, Dhia Douss and Rand Abou Fakher Falyakon (DJset)
