ANOHNI: TURNING and Five Music Videos

6 Episodes

Built around her ineffably plaintive voice, the music of ANOHNI speaks to the soul like no other, entwining aching human emotion with a cutting political edge. Curated by ANOHNI herself, this selection of music videos—presented alongside TURNING, a performance-art concert film by Charles Atlas and ANOHNI, featuring Antony and the Johnsons—extends her transcendent sonic world into a richly symbolic visual language, drawing on influences from queer performance, experimental cinema, political-protest imagery, and elemental natural forms. Each is a carefully chosen collaboration with fellow artists and icons—including Lorraine O’Grady, Naomi Campbell, and Marina Abramović—that deepens the emotional resonance of her music.
