Join Masa Nazzal as she launches and perform parts of her debut tape release on Glasgow’s GLARC cassette label, Slovenia Inshallah.

Slovenia Inshallah is a mixtape created by Masa Nazzal and Ilyas Titaou. Masa spent three months working in Bihać, Bosnia between October 2023 – January 2024 with a no-borders activist group called, No Name Kitchen, where she collected testimonies of violence happening to people on the move trying to pass through Croatia to Slovenia in order to seek asylum in the European Union. The mixtape and performance uses field recording, poetry, songs and storytelling to create a sonic journey about the violence and hopes of border realities; recorded in squats, outside of transit camps and on the streets. Masa’s performance explores how sound becomes the medium to imagine political futures that are not visible, but heard. Creating the spaces to hear futures that are not yet here. Masa uses these political soundscapes to listen from afar – both in time and space – to political possibilities hidden in the cracks of what is now. It is this sonic reaching that our ears hear what is beneath, below, ahead, and above to find new borderless futures.

This is an all ages event.
