Wednesdays of sound and body

Activity open to all and free of charge with a limited capacity of 55 people

Africa Moment presents On foot: sensing carnival, a session in which the artist and researcher Hawah Bunduka will guide us to play with the relationship between the feet and the ground / Mother Earth to collectively create a soundscape inspired by the sounds of Afro-diasporic carnivals. An invitation to enter, from the corporal and sonorous, into the experience of carnival in the contemporary British-Caribbean context from a decolonial perspective.
