After Light is a tac­ti­le par­cours that appro­a­ches touch as a mode of per­cep­ti­on and wit­nes­sing beyond the domi­nan­ce of sight. At its heart lies a text by Palestinian author Alaa Alqaisi, writ­ten short­ly befo­re her eva­cu­a­ti­on from Gaza. Resisting the eco­no­my of ima­ges through which Gaza is most often medi­a­ted, her words beco­me a tac­ti­le lands­ca­pe tra­ced, felt and held by the audience’s hands.

As visi­tors move through the pie­ce, the searching hand beco­mes the gui­ding sen­se. Meaning unfolds through con­tact. Words emer­ge in sound. The inti­ma­te gestu­re of touch con­nects to col­lec­ti­ve his­to­ries of end­uring, caring and sur­vi­ving in the dark.

After Light emer­ges from a clo­se col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween three artists wor­king across per­for­ming arts, media art and literature.
