STREET PERFORMANCES
We will reclaim public space as a site of embodied truth. Through street performances in pop up spaces, we create a site for testimony and resistance. Our movement and dance gesture will interrupt everyday rhythms and invite collective witnessing as it transforms into a living shrine where truth is not hidden but enacted.
WORKSHOPS
Our Workshops aim to create intimate spaces for shared learning and embodied exchange. Participants engage with indigenous epistemologies, ritual practices, movement, storytelling, and collective reflection. Collective knowledge cultivated together, grounded in lived experience and communal intelligence.
EXHIBITIONS
We will inscribe counter-memories onto the urban landscape. Walls, rooftops, markets, and abandoned buildings. Through image, installation, and material experimentation, artists challenge erasure and construct new visual languages of ancestral continuity and political critique.
SYMPOSIA
Symposia provides a platform for rigorous dialogue and critical inquiry. Scholars, thinkers, and cultural practitioners interrogate systems of power, epistemic violence, and the politics of truth. These conversations bridge theory and practice, ensuring that intellectual discourse remains accountable to community realities.
PROTEST
We will invite activists who will organise rituals of resistance and moral clarity. They will speak truth in the face of repression and challenge structures that criminalize dissent. The protest here will be both political and spiritual. This will alignment justice and communal responsibility.
GATHERING
Artists, activists, elders, youth, and communities will converge to share stories, grief, memory, and hope. In our gathering, fragmentation gives way to collective presence and isolation is replaced by solidarity.
HEALING
Healing is central to the festival's vision. It acknowledges wounds historical, political, spiritual and creates space for restoration. Through ritual, dialogue, art, and shared presence, we reconnect to ancestral memory and to one another, cultivating balance and continuity for the future.
