On Thursday, April 11 at 5 p.m., artist group Lighting Art Music Projection (LAMP) presents "Gravebirth" at the Qualcomm Institute (QI) in UC San Diego's Atkinson Hall. 

Gravebirth is a group audio-visual-movement improvisation representing parallel stories that confront social oppression. Referencing “Zendegi (Life)” by contemporary Iranian woman poet Erfan Nazar Ahari and the novel “Silence” by Japanese author Syusaku Endo, Gravebirth aims to create a hopeful and optimistic expression of solidarity for people struggling for freedom. This performance is part of the Initiative for Digital Exploration of Arts and Sciences (IDEAS) series. RSVP to ideasqi@ucsd.edu.
