Holding The Lavender Twilight (live performance @Pavilosta 18.12.2021) by Sille Kima

"Holding the Lavender Twilight" is a sonic soother by Sille Kima, holding space for ourselves and the bodies of others while going through the phase shift from light to darkness each recurring twilight.

The performance, starting at 16:43, nautical twilight in the coastal town of Pavilosta, explores the capacity of tenderness to guide affection through phases of change.

"Or, when we listen to music, we must refuse the idea that music happens only when the musician enters and picks up an instrument; music is also the anticipation of the performance and the noises of appreciation it generates and the speaking that happens through and around it, making it and loving it, being in it while listening. And so, when we refuse the call to order – the teacher pick- ing up the book, the conductor raising his baton, the speaker asking for silence, the torturer tightening the noose – we refuse order as the distinction between noise and music, chatter and knowledge, pain and truth."
- Jack Halberstam, from the introduction to "The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study" by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney.
