Nocturne: Art at Night

📣 ⚓︎ ANCHOR PROJECT

⌗501: Red Earth / Black Sea, by Rena Anakwe

📍World Peace Pavillion

🗓️ Saturday, October 17, 6PM - Midnight

‘Red Earth/Black Sea’ is a sound installation and sound performance, comprised of a written score formed through: found poetry, tape loops, voice, synth textures, samples and field recordings. Inspired by the community of Africville, this is a ritual of mourning for a city that is living and dying, growing and shifting while also repeating cycles of its past. Anakwe pays tribute to communities that have been systematically purged from their homes, lives upended and bonds of community frayed due to racism, bigotry and prejudice while examining connections, past and present, between African Nova Scotians, Black Canadians and The African Diaspora.
