Fjorn Bastos is someone who speaks and moves with intention. As an artist, Fjorn works primarily in sound and a style of narrativised performance under the name Papaphilia. Her 2021 album - ‘Remembrance of Things to Come’ is a pulsing and abstract exploration of time and grief. 

As a researcher and community organiser - she’s also long been an outspoken voice for anti-racism, anti-colonial resistance and isn’t one to just speak without action. Her work is committed to interrogating and resisting colonial powers and forging connections and infrastructure to dismantle how those power structures show up in our everyday lives. She’s also a director of creative sector consultancy Future Tense, and the co-producer of +Concepts - a subversive performance lecture series. 

She joined Darren Lesaguis to delve into all this, and how all her pursuits interweave into creating the world and communities she wants to be in; and the importance of sound as a form of resistance and healing. 

Watch her newly-released video for All Are Syllables of the Great Tongue. And look out for more details of her playing live across MELB and SYD in late April.
