Taqwacore: The Birth of Punk Islam by Omar Majeed
When he was 17, Michael Knight left his mother’s home in Rochester to study Islam at a Pakistani madrassa. It was his first act of rebellion – against his abusive, schizophrenic, white-supremacist father. Years later, burned out on the demands of religious dogma, Mike rebelled once more – by penning a Muslim Punk manifesto called The Taqwacores. Striking a chord with young Muslims around the world, Taqwacore soon became a scene. This film follows Michael and his band of Muslim punks as they journey across the U.S. and Pakistan, transforming their worlds, their religion and themselves through the spirit of Taqwacore.
Omar Majeed is a filmmaker, a Gemini-Award winning editor, a motion graphics artist and celebrated raconteur par excellence. He is also a devoted husband, friend, armchair-therapist, bookbinder, soda-pop mixer, punk provocateur, sensitive poet, insufferable gadfly, cinephile snob, and can play three-chord rock very well on his accoustic guitar. Taqwacore is his latest film and he really wants you to see it.
Taqwacore will be screening at 815pm this Sunday (16 August) at The Substation, as part of the 4th Singapore Indie Doc Fest. More details / ticketing here »
Kian-Peng Ong, aka Bin, the first recipient of the Sound Art Open Call 2011:
Within 140 Characters is a sonic composition in response to an emerging trend of social networks being used in Singapore as an open mic/forum where anyone can voice their opinions on topics ranging from politics to their everyday lives. Particularly, Twitter feeds are being used in this case for its openness and also because it is interesting to see how it behaves like a broadcasting station with a confine of 140 characters.
This work is not really about saying anything on its own, rather it aims to explore and investigate the virtual, social and psychological landscape of Singapore through sound patterns; frequencies triggered and altered in real time by twitter searches. The audience in this case, is a collaborator who can help to define the keywords to search for in this performance.

Within 140 Characters will be at The Substation from 2 to 19 September.

The Substation presents
Tribal Gathering of the Tongue Tasters
The Substation is launching a new music and sonic arts programme to be presented the first Saturday of every month from October to December 2010. Each gathering will be a sound and performance collaboration between an established and emerging local sound artist or band to create a sonic event that recklessly challenges the imagination of home-grown music.
The Narrative Ends Here
The Narrative Ends Here is a music performance by b-quartet + mux, collaborating with sound sculptor Mohamad Riduan and visuals by ila and Jun. In this performance, the narrative is invisible, merely prescribing information for the individual to process and interpret. This performance builds and destroys structures, allowing for space and thought to be the prime architects of truth.
Date: 2nd October 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 8pm
Venue: The Substation Theatre
Admission: $15 & $10 (students), available from The Substation
Phone: 6337 7535 or Email: mishaal@substation.org
