Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme Proclaim “The Song Is the Call, and the Land Is Calling” at Copenhagen Contemporary

Spanning two venues, Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s “The song is the call, and the land is calling” opens at Copenhagen Contemporary (CC) and Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. At CC, they present May Amnesia: Only Sounds that Tremble Through Us (2020-, image), a poetic remix of social media clips depicting joyful moments of song and dance from Iraq, Palestine, and Syria. The work by the duo—both of Palestinian descent—explores “how shattered communities resist annihilation and reclaim place, self, and community.”
