So’le Celestial – Numa’lo

During their artist residency with Jack Straw, So’le Celestial composed and produced a 5 track soundtrack titled Numa’lo – meaning, “revive, do again, return” in Fina’ CHamoru (the CHamoru language). This soundtrack explores So’le journey as a Trans & Queer, CHamoru, chronically ill, and disabled person. Numa’lo audibly illustrates So’le’s inner soul’s movements through life, love, grief, and death. So’le hopes to turn this soundtrack into a short film in the near future.

Jack Straw will host a listening event on Friday, October 11th, featuring Numa’lo, as well as soundscape works by Jack Straw resident artists Gregg Dietzman and Perri Lynch Howard.
