Shrishti/सृष्टि presents "the white gaze", music for strings by Afrodiasporic composers @ Cross St Music Hall, Friday 31st October 2025.

We are dedicated to the promotion of diverse experimental music, embracing improvised, notated, and electronic approaches to music-making.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nation on whose lands we live, make, and share music. Sovereignty was never ceded; these lands, waters and skies always were and always will be Aboriginal Country.

We will take a short break of 15-20 minutes in the middle of the show, according to the following schedule:

DOORS | 7.30pm
