SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia, has announced showcases in collaboration with ZVUK (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and DKC Incel (Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina), both occurring on June 21.
These are the last two events in the platform’s series of 5 showcases outside of the EU: other events include Jogja Noise Bombing (Indonesia), JellyZone (Egypt) and Cafe OTO (United Kingdom). See the previous announcement for more info.
DKC Incel (Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
SHAPE+ line-up of the event:
DKC Incel is a social-cultural center held by Banja Luka based NGO UNSA Geto. It is a community-oriented venue looking to bring to the forefront new and exciting forms of artistic expression from all corners. DKC Incel as a cultural center open to all art forms – art exhibits; plays; literary and film programs.
Since it coincides with the first day of summer, the performance is planned to take place outdoors in front of the club, near a towering 132-meter-high industrial chimney. In the case of unfavorable weather, the event will be moved indoors to the club. The program is scheduled to begin at 9 PM.
The event will also feature local artist Petar Bilbija.
ZVUK (Almaty, Kazakhstan)
SHAPE+ line-up of the event:
Launched in 2016 by DJ and cultural producer Nazira, ZVUK has been described as “Kazakhstan’s premier club night” by Mixmag and “the Kazakhstan club night that dances for truth” by The Guardian.
For this event that will feature Sedef Adasi, Nazira, E.T. and Mariya El alongside SHAPE+ acts, the ZVUK team has secured a special location – it will happen on Köktöbe, a hill at 1,100 meters above sea level, and one of the main landmarks of Almaty.
