“the only lasting truth is change” Octavia E. Butler

joy persists, an exercise and invitation into the worldmaking practices of anti-disciplinary local, national and international artists.

Honouring the thoughts of African American scholar Ashon T. Crawley and precisely his question, “But what if there were a gathering around abundance, pleasure, around joy?”. The 10-day program conspires truthful myths through visual arts, workshops, film, experimental music events and discussions - always leaving room for more possibilities.

Dates: 15 August 2024 - 25 August 2024

Delivered through: City Of Fremantle, 10 Nights In Port Festival

joy persists is our final project as Soul Alphabet.
