Ace of Cups invites us into the presence of the elusive unseen bodies, beings, organisms, ungovernable worlds inhabiting the sites we move through, occupy and inhabit. Drawing from and unfolding from fragments from each of Zarina and Zachary’s respective practices and recent curiosities, the musical offering and performance acknowledges and gives thanks to the other-than-human complexity of a place that has hosted, sheltered, held and been a vessel for so many of us for so many years.

Working at the intersections of installation, moving image, sound, photography, text and performance, Zarina Muhammad’s (Singapore) practice has been interested in the broader contexts of ecocultural identities and interactions, indigenous ontologies and the cultural translations within myth-making to seek out a more-than-human multidimensional understanding of our place in the world.
