Presented by Nuhwa Contemporary, Enemy of the Sun is a three-day live programme conceived as an extension of Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s first solo exhibition in Korea, Until We Became Fire and Fire Us (1 September–29 November 2026). Joining them will be a lineup from Seoul’s cutting edge scene, curated by SoundSupply_Service. Live sets will be from KIM XIMYA, a rapper bridging hip hop with the electronic avant garde; Mount XLR, a producer gaining notoriety for his brain-tickling bass; and Digest, a newly-formed duo of SoundSupply_Service label head Choi Jongbin and hip hop turntablist Easymind. Additional DJ sets from Winter Back and Paola Laf will round out the night. A portion of proceeds from the night will be donated to the Sameer Project to support displaced families in Gaza. About Muqata’a: What DJ Soulscape is to Seoul, Muqata’a is to Ramallah. A co-founder of Bilna’es, Muqata’a has been called the “godfather” of Palestinian underground hip hop (The Guardian), weaving traditional folk samples into boom bap, trip hop, and downtempo beats and forming the Ramallah Underground collective in 2002. After his 2013 solo debut Hayawan Nateq, Muqata’a began experimenting with Brainfeeder-esque glitches, culminating in the lumbering grime of 2018’s Inkanakuntu (Discrepant Records) and the hard-hitting breakbeats of Kamil Manqus (Hundebiss Records, 2021 The Wire Magazine Release of the Year #21). For Muqata’a, sound is a way to reclaim presence in occupied land, sampling the whirr of drones and the clang of slamming doors at military checkpoints. Against the weaponization of sound, Muqata’a creates soundscapes that are as innovative as they are liberatory. About Bilna’es: Bilna’es is a disciplinary platform that seeks to find new models for artists to redistribute resources and support one another in the production and circulation of work—functioning as a publishing space with releases ranging from music, multi-media artworks, publications, performances, installations, and other yet-to-be-developed forms. Bilna’es initially emerged from the urgency to support artists and cultural workers in Palestine, and has since expanded its scope to working with artists living and working internationally. Our working economic model is the redistribution of resources that more established artists have access to in support of artists/musicians/writers who are practicing with nearly no support systems. We commission and publish works by musicians, artists, curators, scholars, and writers who are developing new conceptual and formal language around the relation between aesthetics (visual, sonic, and textual) and strategies of political and social activation within the cultural domain.
