NGUVA by WANGECHI MUTU (2014)

For her new exhibition Nguva na Nyoka (Sirens and Serpents)at London’s Victoria Miro gallery, Mutu looked to mythologies from Africa and the Arab world, exploring the troubling spirit of mermaids and the abyssal mystery of the sea, where sailors are seduced and annihilated. The accompanying film Nguva, previewed here, opens with an unsettling scream, moving to ghostly images of veiled women on a sandy shore. The artist appears as a hysterical beast whose menacing force slowly dissipates. Through this magical metamorphosis, Mutu creates a surreal landscape between life and death, reality and dreams, the female body transforming into site of geo-political and sexual violence.”

Enfin, la sortie en français du roman de Nnedi Okorafor "Who Fears Death"

Enfin, La Sortie En Français Du Roman De Nnedi Okorafor "Who Fears Death"

Bien qu'elle en ait publié d'autres auparavant, le roman de l'écrivaine américano-nigeriane Nnedi Okorafor sorti en 2010 qui a reçu le prix World Fantasy Award en 2011 "Who Fears Death", est régulièrement cité comme une référence dans la littérature de science-fiction africaine. C'est une très bonne nouvelle qu'il soit maintenant disponible en français grâce au label Eclipse.

Nnedi Okorafor qui revendique sa double appartenance et fait du Nigeria sa "muse", a trouvé dans la science-fiction et la fantasy le genre parfait pour déconstruire les dichotomies tradition/modernité, science/magie ou encore rationalité/superstitions.

Le label Eclipse qui maintenant fait partie de la maison d'édition Panini Books a également édité en 2011 la version en français de "Zoo City" de la sud-africaine Lauren Beukes.

Moi, Albert Ibokwe Khoza

Moi, Albert Ibokwe Khoza
Moi, Albert Ibokwe Khoza

Johannesburg 31 octobre 2015. Alors que les manifestations étudiantes pour un accès égalitaire à l'enseignement imprègnent encore littéralement l'atmosphère et que #FeesMustFall est devenu le slogan de ralliement de la jeunesse sud-africaine, Albert Ibokwe Khoza incarne un autre combat, étroitement lié en réalité : celui de la place du corps. Acteur, danseur, performer, chanteur et praticien traditionnel (sangoma en Afrique du Sud), Au cœur de Soweto, Albert Ibokwe Khoza nous invite à suivre le trajet qu’il a parcouru des bancs de l’Université du Witwatersrand, à la scène internationale. C’est au cours de ce trajet qu’il réussit à faire de son corps, l’instrument de son émancipation. En rejetant à la fois l’académisme universitaire qui emprisonne son corps dans une discipline qui lui est fondamentalement étrangère et en imposant son homosexualité qui pour beaucoup encore, reste incompatible avec les pratiques traditionnelles. 

A closet Chant, Albert Ibokwe Khoza

A noter également une remarquable collaboration car la performance se déroulait dans la galerie de Soweto, Mashumi Art Projects créée par Zanele Mashumi, elle même invitée par l’artiste Thenjiwe Nkosi. Thenjiwe Nkosi qui s’appuit sur le concept de “radical sharing” avait répondu à l’invitation du Goethe pour le festival African futures en invitant quatre autres projets développés par des femmes. Multiplier, le titre de cette collaboration est présenté sur le site du festival. Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi

NEW MUSIC: 2Face - Spiritual Healing.

Nigerian artist 2Face Idibia takes on inspiration from ancient, ethereal and cosmic forces in this animated apocalyptic-themed music video for his new single about universal love.

Interesting to see him and director Clarence Peters both step out of their comfort zones. Wish they’d give credit to the other singer featured on the song.

This was a project for my final assignment, for my “Fashion, Illustration, & Performance” class at Parsons.. which could potentially become the start of my thesis for this year. The design process of these garments all started with two collages that I created with patterns that I made, then I decided to bring them to life by creating them into garments and wearing them myself.
