A powerful performance by poetry and electronic music duo chamæleon, who explore the relationship between art and activism based on their digital platform An Artist’s Manual Against Apartheid. Co-commissioned and supported by Counterpoints, this event takes place during Shubbak Festival 2025.

Weaving together sound, text and imagery, this multi-media performance offers a journey inward—toward both the self and the collective—framed by the urgent realities of today. The performance reflects on resistance in its many forms, confronting complicity in a call to recognise and harness our collective strength against oppressive systems.

chamæleon is a poetry and electronic music duo formed by Palestinian poet Farah Chamma and Brazilian music producer LIEV, exploring the intersections between spoken word and musical textures. chamæleon dives into the unknown, the search for belonging, and the discovery of one’s identity.

Through this performance, Farah & Liev navigate the intersections of the personal and the political. In it they re-assert the power of art—not only to reflect the times but to move with them. They see art as a force of transformation, a channel for resistance and renewal.
