Asifeh Makhazen Bukra

Asifeh's third album "Makhazen Bukra" - meaning "archives/storage spaces of tomorrow" - is a dark yet satirical take on concepts dealing with posthumanism and the fate of earth. The beats on this album - conceived during the past two years - have a certain unforgiving raw, harsh, and dirty sound to them, with no effort of beautification, they are served as-is. Much like our dark reality, and counter to hypercapitalist culture."Makhazen Bukra" was created using abandoned electronics which reflect the present-day consumer's nostalgia to an illusion of "better times", leading to a modern digital junk yard with thoughts about how and if we may or may not exist in the future to come.

"Makhazen Bukra" is supported by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture - Afac.
