This video was created by students in the Fall 2017 Practitioner in Residence Workshop led by the acclaimed Beirut-based indie band, Mashrou' Leila. Students' work was exhibited in “The Great Gig in the Sky: Imagining the Soundtrack to Utopia," a multi-media show curated by the band.

Workshop students were asked to imagine musical events that would “save the world,” and this exhibition in turn invites visitors to envision these fictitious historical moments, past, present, and future. The exhibition materials featured in “The Great Gig in the Sky” -- false-news articles, reviews, interviews, lyrics, dances, video pieces, mood boards, and illustrative visual work -- are the fruits of their labor to create stories and a series of related artifacts about four fictional musical events that would catalyze political change.
