The darkness of Elizabethan melancholy, the prevalent mood of an age. Shadows. Dark figures. Emerging, expressing longing, grief and suffering. Moments of peace glimmer momentarily. The prevailing darkness and foreboding mood swallows these fragments of light dragging us down into the depths of sorrow and longing. 'Shadows that in darkness dwell' is a cycle of works composed for period instruments and electronics created collaboratively by composer Timothy Cooper and Ensemble 1604 exploring the life and music of the English Renaissance composer John Dowland. Tim says: ‘I imagine the character of John Dowland, an emotional, volatile and private man with a mysterious past; as a musician working in the court of the Danish King, Dowland was also as an English spy. Much of his music is dark, shadowy and melancholic and my pieces explore and exaggerate this. The pieces are not about subterfuge but explore the very darkest depths present in Dowland’s work and life.’ Ensemble 1604: László Rózsa (Recorders). Rory McCleery ( Counter Tenor) . Alex McCartney (Theorbo) . Lucia Capellaro ( Baroque Cello / Viola da Gamba). Timothy Cooper –(Electronics / Sound). Admission Free. All welcome.

Khudejha Asghar is a Research Fellow, studying mechanisms for interrupting the intergenerational transmission of violence. With over ten years of experience on preventing and responding to violence against women, children and people of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression in different parts of the world, she will look at our exhibitions through the lens of emotional trauma. As trauma tends to fragment experience, we will move between Gabrielle Goliath’s Personal Accounts and Guadalupe Maravilla’s Piedras de Fuego (Fire Stones) and collectively unpack questions raised by these two exhibitions on the subjects of violence, trauma and healing. We will start by considering the artist’s choice to edit out the spoken words in Personal Accounts, critically thinking about why people feel they need to know the details of someone’s experiences in order to empathise, and how words can be either used towards or weaponized against the truths of survivors' experiences. Khudejha will connect childhood experiences of trauma to disadvantage in later life, taking us to consider Guadalupe Maravilla’s journey as an eight-year-old migrant. The tour will then return to Gabrielle Goliath’s work There’s a river of birds in migration to think about the importance of creative practice in the process of reclamation and healing from Patriarchal violence. If you have specific accessibility needs, please let us know when you register or contact us directly at info.talbotrice@ed.ac.uk to discuss further.
