Audio Flux Presents: Trash or Treasure | Tribeca Premiere

Journalist, producer, artist Remoy Philip debuts an experimental audio-short that wrestles with the fractured legacy of growing up in an immigrant-American family. Using recycled materials to build a layered soundscape, Philip tells his family’s story of migrating from India, by way of Africa, to America– feeling the silences and dislocations that shape his identity. And by the end he holds the reality of what it means to be a part of a world on the verge of a climate reckoning and how more migrations will shape the rest of our futures.

This is part of Audio Flux– a home for innovative, short-form audio and bold storytelling. Join co-founders Julie Shapiro and John DeLore for the debut of eight new “fluxworks”—three-minute audio stories inspired by Kenya-based artist Cyrus Kabiru, who transforms trash and other discarded materials into stunning, provocative sculptures. You’ll hear a range of climate stories - but not the ones you might expect. Julie and John will share original fluxworks by Munira Kaoneka (Tanzania), Daniel Ondieki (Kenya), Remoy Philip (USA), Alex Sujong Laughlin (USA), and four winners from the Audio Flux Circuit 07 open call. Produced in partnership with the Cape Town–based audio training organization Radio Workshop.
