Adama Delphine Fawundu & Che Buford, "When the Spirits Dance We" Performance

In Adama Delphine Fawundu’s work adorning sixteen flagpoles outside HKW’s Itō Noe Entrance, the colour blue is a reference to water and the capacity for its streams to witness many ages. The aesthetics of the flags weave together recurring West African traditional symbols and materials, highlighting a rootedness in knowledges that can also oppose contemporary narratives of hierarchy and oppression.
