Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere: Another Protest Song: Karaoke

Interdisciplinary artists Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere invite participation in Another Protest Song: Karaoke, a series of karaoke events that look to the karaoke songbook as potential for political enunciation through song. First initiated in 2008, this ongoing project invites the public to choose and sing songs of protest, along with pop songs re-contextualized to support the singer’s engaged interests or dislikes. Collective participation often transpires.

Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere have been collaborating for over twenty years. Their work brings together music, sound, and the cultural complexities of the public sphere, engaging civic action through distinct musical instrumentation and acoustic traditions. The artists have produced multimedia works in collaboration with musicians, radio practitioners, and city agencies. They have exhibited their work at MoMA, Creative Time, and the New Museum in New York; Manifesta 8/Spain; Museo Raúl Anguiano, Guadalajara, MX; Henie Onstad Art Centre, Høvikodden, NO; Taxispalais, Innsbruck, AT, and elsewhere. The duo’s first survey was presented at the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, in 2016. Their fellowships and grants include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital fellowship, an Art Matters grant, and a Franklin Furnace Performance Art fellowship. Recent residencies and projects include Antenna::Spillways Residency, New Orleans, LA; Interlude Artist Residency, NY; and Artpace, San Antonio, TX.

Nevarez teaches at Parsons School of Design, New York. Tevere is Professor of Media Culture at the College of Staten Island / CUNY.
