EMERGENCE

Invincible has a bunch of live performances and video screenings coming up. See below for SXSW Film & Music Festival dates and much more.

After innovating the new genre of "docu-music video" with the acclaimed Locusts film, Invincible applies the same treatment to her award-winning song, "People Not Places."

The People Not Places docu-music video will premier on the closing night of the Ann Arbor Palestine Film Festival, Saturday, March 14, 8PM, screening alongside Slingshot Hip Hop.

Featuring Abeer, Suhell Nafar (DAM), and Shadia Mansour, People Not Places takes the listener on a "birthright" tour of Israel where the buried Palestinian significance of each location comes to light. Along the route the video exposes the process of historic and continued colonization as being even deeper than land seizure and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, but one that is invested in erasing the indigenous language, culture, and memory. Intertwined between verses are interviews from various perspectives exposing the the myth of a "Jewish birthright" to a land to which Palestinians are denied the Right of Return. These insightful voices break down the importance of Palestinian Right of Return, how it can be actualized, and how it connects to the resistance of displaced communities from Iraq to New Orleans.

The music video for "Ropes", off of the ShapeShifters album, is also complete and will be released VERY SOON!

Visit the EMERGENCE STORE to purchase the ShapeShifters CD and other items. We have very few copies remaining of the ShapeShifters/Keep Goin/No Easy Answers 12". Only 800 copies of this first EMERGENCE vinyl release were produced and this record will not be re-pressed. Get while the getting's good!
