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

Haus der Kulturen der Welt, July 28, 2023

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.
