“How can we move backwards? Am I doing enough? Can you hear how sorry I am? Why don’t you care? How do you sleep at night?” NEW MODELS is an onslaught of questions—these and others—that I have grappled with over the past four years. NEW MODELS is a lens for you to re-examine what you have experienced both over these past four years and now. What are the new models, new frameworks, new approaches? Who are the new models, new archetypes, new leaders? NEW MODELS deviates from English and pop formalities to seek out hope and answers in a time of unrest and uncertainty. NEW MODELS embraces the possibility that there might not be answers, only uncertainty. Join us for a meditative performance of Vivek Shraya's 11th solo album NEW MODELS followed by a revisitation of her previous musical works.

Presented in collaboration with Festival Phénomena
