Live Arts | Jamshid Jam Performance

@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

220 E Chicago Ave Chicago IL 60611

Opening Saturday, July 13th, from 2PM - 3:30PM

During the closing week of Chicago Works: Maryam Taghavi, the musical duo Jamshid Jam perform a sonic response to the exhibition.

Accompanied by Ramin Roshandel on setar, Jean-François Charles on electronics, and Ritwik Banerji on saxophone, artist Maryam Taghavi narrates a short story from her exhibition text. This first-person narrative offers an intimate glimpse into the conditions of post-war Tehran, focusing on how children’s games reflect the precarity and psychological impact of war.

Consisting of Ramin Roshandel and Jean-François Charles, Jamshid Jam’s improvised performances have been heard on stages across the United States. For this special performance, Roshandel and Charles are joined onstage by Ritwik Banerji.
