AN AMBIENT HARDCORE MANIFESTO Opening

On 29 October, Rupert hosted the opening of AN AMBIENT HARDCORE MANIFESTO, an exhibition by Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist Nazanin Noori.

The opening featured a performance by Noori, a musical dramatisation of the manifesto’s core text.

Developed over the last eighteen months specifically for Rupert’s city-centre location, the site-specific multimedia exhibition brings together a long poem, two audio works, filtered light and an architectural intervention. Noori’s practice explores the intersections of sound, space, sculpture and postdramatic poetry, working across installation, theatre, composition, performance, writing and directing.

The exhibition is on view until 6 December 2026.
