Madison and Marina speak with composer, performer, and TAK 2024 season collaborator, Zeynep Toraman. Their conversation goes deep into the nature and motivations of artistic practice, literature, identity, and much more. TAK will be premiering Zeynep's piece "Veils" on December 3rd, 7:30pm at the Dimenna Center in NYC, alongside works by Eric Wubbels, inti figgis-vizueta, and Seare Ahmad Farhat.
