Dambudzo

15.-17.8.

Age recommendation: 12 years

Duration 1 h 45 min

In “Dambudzo”, nora chipaumire creates a house of sound, sculpture, and live performance that invites people to think about freedom and colonialism. In a relaxed setting, the audience and artists imagine new, free worlds together.

In an installation of sculpture and sound, animated by a live performance, the anti-disciplinary artist nora chipaumire creates a house of opportunity that is both radical and participatory. “Dambudzo” – meaning “trouble” in Shona – brings to life the ideas of radical African thinkers, interwoven with chipaumire’s own thoughts and experiences, current political realities, and the ongoing resistance to (neo)colonial control. In a relaxed private bar, the artistic team awakens the promise of freedom, and invites the audience to evoke new worlds together.
