Yara Asmar
“I am building a house so you can visit me”
TX: Tuesday, 8th April – 12:00 – 12:30pm / Thursday, 10th April – 6:00 – 6:30pm BST
Tape letters between two friends, one living in a blanket fort, the other in a house of paper, and both deeming each other’s homes unsound, can’t seem to agree on who should visit the other. So instead, one of them builds a house they can meet in, out of the safest material: Noise.
Yara is a musician and puppeteer based in Beirut, Lebanon. She incorporates accordion, metallophone and electronics in her live performances. In addition to her musical work, she has participated in exhibitions where she featured sound and video installations including ‘Sonatina for 19 Music Boxes’ (interactive sound installation), ’The Cut-Throat Finch Preludes’ (tape loop installation), ‘I Liked it Better When We Lived on See-Saw Hill’ (video installation) and ‘Lapses’ (interactive sound installation). Last year she released ‘Mr. Samuel’s Teatime Stories for Good Kids and Confused Adults’ – A puppet film in four parts.
