Visual artist Sammy Baloji works with photography, video, and installation to explore memory, history, and colonial legacies, combining archival and contemporary images to reveal untold stories.
This immersive performance unfolds in three acts, reimagining the traditional concert experience through shifting perspectives of sound and space.
Part I features Szymon Brzóska's composition for trumpet, cello, and piano, inspired by Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899).
Part II presents Pytshens Kambilo's ensemble work drawing on 1970s Pan-Africanism.
In the final act, Satch Hoyt performs a sound cartography from the Hall's balcony, inverting the traditional concert experience. By blending electric flute and percussion with contemporary synthesised sounds and antique African instruments, he traces the journeys of Black people across the Atlantic.
