avec Gabriel Dharmoo

This episode of the Innovations Podcast features a conversation from June 2021 with Tio’tia:ke/Montreal based composer, vocalist, performance artist and drag artist Gabriel Dharmoo. We discuss his drag persona Bijuriya and working within (and outside) of pop culture references, issues around coloniality in new music practices, and the new collaborative project Phthethisms by vocal collective Phth and visual artist Beth Frey co-presented by Innovations en concert.

Find out more about the Thursday December 2nd performance and installation ‘Phthethisms’ featuring vocal collective Phth and visual artist Beth Frey.

Purchase tickets for one of Bijuriya / Gabriel Dharmoo’s shows this February 2022 at the MAI.
