Following on from his 2024 residency at Q-O2, artist and researcher Elijah Maja will deliver a presentation sharing ongoing research into the stylistic, technical, and ritual overlaps in process across musics. Partly philosophical, partly speculative, these threads of continuity will be explored to consider how encounters between performance practice, technique and quotidian life have impacted the sonic. He will then close with a short performance.
Elijah Maja is an artist, writer, and researcher from London. Maja’s practice is multidisciplinary, predominantly using sound, still, and moving image. Interested in the creation of assemblage through experimental sound and speculative musings across an array of textual, sonic, and visual through-lines, Maja ponders syncretism, space, and quotidian life in the formation of process.
