Live Performance by Bahar Noorizadeh in collaboration with Intibint Audience info Bahar Noorizadeh and her collaborator, Glasgow based Yemeni sound artist Intibint invite us to a sound performance developed from Noorizadeh’s installation Reuter in Tehran.<ul><li>The event is free and open to all.</li><li>Alcoholic drinks will be served and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available.</li><li>Doors open 7pm. </li></ul>A staging of investigative research, delirious diagrams, secret dossiers and weird cartographies, Reuter in Tehran traces the footprints of a peculiar organism that has survived through Iran’s economic system, since the founding of the first modern bank in Iran — the Imperial Bank of Persia — in 1889. The work travels through the free economic zones stretched across the Southern coast to narrate an occult history of pseudo-financial institutions, subcontractor empires, and the labyrinth of shadow banks that has seized Iran to the present. Traversing through centuries — of financial promises and exchange — Reuter in Tehran offers an alternative cosmology of capital. What’s behind Money? All of History._ Co-curated with Bahar Noorizadeh, part of Weird Economies x Scotland programmed alongside Noorizadeh's exhibition at Cooper Gallery, <a href="https://www.dundee.ac.uk/events/bahar-noorizadeh-debtors-portal" title="https://www.dundee.ac.uk/events/bahar-noorizadeh-debtors-portal" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Debtor's Portal</a>. <h2>Biographies</h2>Intibint is a producer, singer-songwriter, visual artist and DJ, born and raised between the UK and Yemen. Her music is primarily electronic, embedded with inspiration from Yemeni sounds, exploring themes that straddle both the personal and the collective. Her live performances infuse layered vocals, field recordings, as well as both original productions and covers of songs from the Arab region and beyond. Across sound, visuals, and performance, whether producing original music, curating a dancefloor, or through her work as the founder of @al.yamaniah, Intibint’s practice is rooted in resistance and reclamation. Bahar Noorizadeh’s work looks at the relationship between art and capitalism, and their entangled moral, social and organisational technologies. In her practice as an artist, theorist and filmmaker, she examines the conflictual and contradictory notions of imagination and speculation as they collapse into one another. Her research investigates the histories and the futures of economics, from cybernetic socialism to neoliberal finance, and activist strategies against the financialization of life and the living space, asking what redistributive historical justice might look like for the present.Noorizadeh is the founder and organiser of <a href="https://weirdeconomies.com/" title="https://weirdeconomies.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Weird Economies</a>, a multi-authored platform dedicated to radical economic imaginaries. Her work has appeared at the Guggenheim Museum NYC (2024), Taipei Biennial (2023), Venice Architecture Biennial (2021), Transmediale Festival (2020, 2022), Tate Modern Artists’ Cinema Program (2018), and Geneva Biennale of Moving Images (2018) among others. She is the co-editor of the e-flux special issue on Iran (May 2024) and has contributed essays to e-flux Architecture, Journal of Visual Culture, and Sternberg Press, and anthologies by Duke University Press and MIT Press. Noorizadeh completed a PhD in Art at Goldsmiths, University of London and is currently teaching in MA Geo-Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven.<a href="http://www.baharnoorizadeh.com/" title="http://www.baharnoorizadeh.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.baharnoorizadeh.com</a> _____<h2>Access</h2>Cooper Gallery is located to the right side of the DJCAD buildings on Perth Road.
