Asiya Wadud’s Syncope: Launch Party with Çalhanoğlu & Okpokwasili

Ugly Duckling Presse and Collapsable Hole present a launch party for Asiya Wadud’s Syncope with readings and performances by: Asiya Wadud, Sevinç Çalhanoğlu and Okwui Okpokwasili.

ABOUT SYNCOPE
Through a series of prayers, invocations, and hymns, Syncope eulogizes those who have perished making Central Mediterranean crossings as well as collects first-hand accounts of those who have survived these perilous journeys. Forces of fate brought errant lives together for a hopeful safe passage and ultimately, linked these lives in their untimely deaths. Syncope attempts to shed some light on these lives, as well as the happenstance of living and dying while trying to cross a border.
