Antonio Guzman & Iva Jankovic’s collaborative practice uses textiles, soundscapes and performance to tell stories of migration, memory, and transcultural exchange.
At Walker Art Gallery, the artists present 'Concrete Roots / Griots Epic Stories from the Black Atlantic', 2025. Part of their ongoing ‘Electric Dub Station’ series, this new work evokes the ruins of a past or Afro-futuristic city, embodying a textile Stonehenge where fragments narrate stories of recent urban unrest and global conflicts. Designed as a ritual space, the installation features dub-inspired sonic sounds which resonate within the structure.
At Tate Liverpool +RIBA North, the artists present 'Toxteth Dub / Maps and Orientations from beyond the Blue', 2025. Part of their ongoing ‘Electric Dub Station’ series, this new work commissioned for Liverpool Biennial 2025, uses a map to examine Liverpool’s colonial legacy. Incorporating indigo dyeing, patching and Instagram posts, the design and technique symbolise both colonial exploitation and cultural resilience.
During our opening weekend the artists performed 'Intergalactic Dub Frequencies and Massive Basslines', an immersive experience where each beat and frequency acts as a reflection of the fluidity of identity, history, and the ever-evolving process of healing. This sonic performance used experimental dub rhythms, drum and bass, Latin electro and Afrofuturistic costumes to capture the energy, vulnerability, and power of the human body.
