Riistavuori Senior Center

In Chicago Boys – While We Were Singing, They Were Dreaming a diverse group of people will meet twice a week for six weeks. There are two types of rehearsals: private rehearsals in Cultural Centre Stoa among the band members (Mondays or Wednesdays, the group will decide) and public rehearsals on Saturdays in variety of public spaces in Helsinki.

In both type of rehearsals participants will bring stories, narratives, observations and songs, and rehearse together to push and shape a snowball of thoughts and songs around neoliberal condition and its ties to environmental crisis and social issues. All rehearsals are a platform for bringing different understandings and experiences of everyday life and turning them into a diverse interpretation of neoliberal economy.

Hiwa K initiated Chicago Boys – While We Were Singing, They Were Dreaming project in London in 2010 and has since been experienced in numerous key international art institutions. This year it happens almost simultaneously in Helsinki and Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan, Iraq, that is the birth city of the artist.
