’The city, The damned’ Isaac Harris


The city, The Damned is a recurrent text exploring themes of nomadology, the constant change of people and places, and the impressed vagrancy of immigrant communities under an increasing state of pressure. Made for the Radio Buena Vida and interspersed with dub, reggae, Tuareg/West African/American blues, the work responds to the Govanhill locality and the new relations that arise here.

The work is available to listen here.

Isaac Harris is a writer from Virginia. They are presently concerned with narrative in relation to how it territorialises our understanding of the modern world, the immanence of the body of God in all things, and how to pursue a phenomenological investigation into both escaping and embracing black life.

Govanhill International Festival, 2026

Originally played on Radio Buena Vida.
