Exit/Exist Oct 26, 2013

Exit/Exist was hypnotic and delicate like fine silk touching my senses.

Una estupenda manifestación de arte contemporanio africano atravez del baile, musica y canto. El sonido de la guitarra española con ritmos africanos y bits electronicos crean un ambiente adecuado para contar la historia de ansestros conectados con la tierra y la denuncia de la opresión britanica en Sur Africa.

Muy buena obra, realmente la recomiendo a todos.

Imagining Unwritten Histories: Gregory Maqoma Oct 26, 2013

As a child growing up in the American Midwest in the 1980s, I remember learning about the fight against apartheid in South Africa, mainly by watching powerful movies like Biko and A World Apart. The images and stories from those films—as well as the news stories about Nelson Mandela in particular, and his extraordinary heroism—are still fresh in my memory.
