PASSENGER coincided with the EXHALE publication originally launched with integrated screening events in 2007. |

REROUTE takes us on a journey of juxtapositions, statements and pan-global relations across the human borders that burn us, using both lyrical rhythm and visual collision, and continuing the Passenger series of multimedia performances. A must-see artistic collaboration weaving a narrative which includes an Iranian Tar (played by Arash Fayyazi) responding to projected poetry performed by Tang Lin and Khasrow Mustafa, selected short film works, live vj-art, intelligent improvised acoustica and songs. After a well-received installation-performance at SIGGRAPH in San Diego last month, this is a rare chance to see Virtual Migrants' work in a more intimate setting.
plus: Re-Launch of the new "EXHALE" publication, presenting 5 years of video, music and electronic art engaging with asylum and migration in a new world order
consisting of DVD, audio-CD and two booklets with 40 pages of essays, images and contexts, on sale at a reduced price for this night only! Otherwise available to purchase online NOW for just £15.99 - full details at www.virtualmigrants.com/exhale.
Virtual Migrants celebrate and present a selection of the work produced over the last 5 years, from the ground-breaking Terminal Frontiers exhibition to their variant musical collaborations (including with Hip-Hop band 4D). Created with and by a range of artists and collaborators across the UK from Glasgow to Plymouth, these works deconstruct the polemical and varying experiences of asylum in a globalised post-9/11 world, colliding documentary realism with poetic imagination, the personal with the epic, and including the unmissable Reroute performance.
