Help Resonator welcome Austin TX’s Hanna Barakat!

Hanna is an immensely talented Lebanese American recording artist whose powerful stage presence and remarkable songs will blow you away.

“Strength, vulnerability, honesty...With Middle Eastern influence and dark, driving tones, her music whirled me away into an emotional soundscape...Hanna is not one to shy away from controversial topics nor daring changes in melody and rhythm. Her debut album, Siren, produced by John Moyer, bassist of Disturbed, showcases her exceptional songwriting and storytelling abilities. Much of the album is colored with traditional Middle Eastern instruments like the oud, which complement the staples of modern rock that underpin the LP: drums, guitar, and bass...The inspiration behind the title track of Barakat’s album, “Siren," is one that has evolved with time. Initially, Hanna explained, it served as a stance towards individuals in her life and the need to express her will and ambitions. With time it would grow into an empowering song that represents claiming her life as one that she is destined to determine. “

Euphoria ATX- Madison Williams

Joining Hanna will be Norman’s Maura McAndrew and, making their Resonator debut, OKC’s The Wavelength.

Join your hosts Desiree Abba and Norman Pride for a free screening of George C. Wolfe's 2023 biopic "Rustin".

"Rustin" is the story of Bayard Rustin, the civil and gay rights activist who organized and coordinated the 1963 Freedom March on Washington.

Due to fear of persecution related to his homosexuality, Rustin mostly worked behind the scenes, and as a result his role in the civil rights movement is often overlooked. But as this movie shows, his contributions to the cause were central to the movement's success.

The screening is free. There will be light snacks and refreshments available.

Sunday Scaries returns with a French noir classic.

1958’s Elevator to the Gallows is a Louis Malle tour de force about a man who offs his mistress’ husband (also his boss), then realizes he’s made a crucial mistake.

Join us for January Art Walk. We’ll be featuring an exhibition by Jonathan Stalling that chronicles some of his decades of research into Chinese Jueju Poetry, its culture and history, and the extensive projects he has undertaken to translate this ancient tradition into English.

In “Between Languages,” three of Jonathan’s installations, which span the last 15 years (2009-2023) of his work, create a space where English is written in Chinese and Classical Chinese poetry is written in English. Listen to Jonathan’s 2010 opera Ying-ge-li-shi, where English words and sentences emerge from the Chinese libretto performed in Yunnan China in 2010 or take your first steps along the Jueju path by trying your hand at movable wood type printing, interactive online stations, or a book arts table for folding and stab binding books.  

Jonathan Stalling lives in Norman Oklahoma with his wife Amy and three children—Isaac (though now in NYC), Eliana, and Rowen and many dogs, rabbits, an 18-year old cat and an eight year old chicken. He’s a Professor of International Studies at the University of Oklahoma. https://www.ou.edu/cis/people/faculty/jonathan-stalling

Join us for another chapter in Sunday Scaries history.

This month, your host Maura McAndrew will be screening the 1983 radical underground mock-doc Born in Flames (Lizzie Borden), a feminist look at a dystopian future where socialism has won out, but rampant inequality still persists.

Per IMDb: “Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power, this films presents a dystopia in which the issues of many progressive groups - minorities, liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists - are ostensibly dealt with by the government, and yet there are still problems with jobs, with gender issues, with governmental preference and violence. In New York City, in this future time, a group of women decide to organize and mobilize, to take the revolution farther than any man - and many women - ever imagined in their lifetimes.”
