Music & Performances: 'Kasala: The Slaughterhouse of Dreams or The First Human, Bende's Error' - Watch Here

Director: Sammy Baloji

Time: October 16th - 31st

About:

What happens to objects from Africa that are kept in museums in the northern hemisphere? How legitimate is it to reveal their inner life, uprooted from cultural context? Can the objects find their voice again? Are there other forms of memory? Multi-disciplinary artist Sammy Baloji explores these questions, taking the “Kasala”, a form of ceremonial poem, as his starting point. Performed by Fiston Mwanza Mujia (poetry), Patrick Dunst (music), and Grilli Pollheimer (music).
