Tlokwe Sehume (with Motshepe Kgawane and Thabo Rapoo) and George Mahashe presents ‘NGWANA WA BADIMO O BITŠWA KA DITŠHELA’

27 November 2021 11:00 and 13:00

'making music of the day before yesterday for a people of the day after tomorrow’

‘ngwana wa badimo o bitšwa ka ditšhela’ is a percussive intervention by conceptual musical artist Tlokwe Sehume accompanied by Motshepe Kgawane and Thabo Rapoo. The event is constructed as a collaborative conversation with themes running through George Mahashe’s installation titled Lebitla La Ngaka forming part of the project Interfacing New Heavens and Sehume’s extensive and multilayered engagement with similar concerns, especially those that are closely related to indigenous knowledge systems connected to musical composition within the context of Southern Africa.

Interfacing New Heavens is a project that brings together two and collaborative artistic positions that contemplate the entanglement of science and art; indigenous knowledge systems and their inquiry within the discursive terrain of astronomy; the agency of “vibrant matter”; and the dreamscape as research methodology. Interfacing New Heavens  is a collaboration between the Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria ( Javett-UP) and the artists-in-labs program at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZhDK).
