Hier ist gerade nichts rosarot, aber diese kleinen Alltagsmomente lassen mich sehr dankbar sein - unabhängig von den Umständen.

Il y a trois ans l’exposition “OF LIGHT AND CLAY” prenait vie en Egypt au Caire
Partager les coulisses d’un projet c’est toujours un exercice délicat pour moi. J’ai l’impression de me mettre à nu, je me sens profondément vulnérable à chaque fois mais aujourd’hui, j’avais envie de replonger dans ces souvenirs et de vous les partager.

Voici les prémices d’une des installations interactive née d’une collaboration entre mon ami cinéaste et artiste primé @cle_hunnigan et moi même .
Cette sceno a été pensé à partir de son Livre Notes I have never sent qui a l’époque n’en étais pas encore un.

Three years ago, the exhibition OF LIGHT AND CLAY bloomed into life in Cairo, Egypt. Unveiling the inner workings of a project is always a fragile exercise for me.
It feels like laying my soul bare, leaving me deeply vulnerable.
Yet today, I feel drawn to dive back into these memories and share them with you.
Here, the genesis of an interactive installation born from a collaboration between my friend @cle_hunnigan , an award-winning filmmaker and artist and myself.
This set is crafted from the pages of his book, Notes I Have Never Sent

Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela, Ethiopia. The eleven Rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela are monolithic churches located in the western Ethiopian Highlands near the town of Lalibela, named after the late-12th and early-13th century King Gebre Meskel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty, who commissioned the massive building project of 11 rock-hewn churches to recreate the holy city of Jerusalem in his own kingdom. The site remains in use by the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church to this day, and it remains an important place of pilgrimage for Ethiopian Orthodox worshipers. It took 24 years to build all the 11 rock hewn churches.

According to local tradition, Lalibela (traditionally known as Roha) was founded by an Agew family called the Zagwa or Zagwe in 1137 AD. Tradition holds that in Ethiopia prior to his accession to the throne, Gebre Meskel Lalibela was guided by Christ on a tour of Jerusalem, and instructed to build a second Jerusalem in Ethiopia. The churches are said to have been built during the Zagwe dynasty, under the rule of King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela (r. ca. 1181–1221 AD), although it is more likely that they evolved into their current form over the course of several phases of construction and alteration of preexisting structures.

The site of the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela was first included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978.

I grew up on a small Caribbean island, much like Bermuda - with a rich Black history, and the stories that come with it: plight, perseverance, revolution, and pride in where we come from.

Carnival was always around me, but I never ‘played mas,’ - see, my daddy was in a pastoral role at our church, so it was a hard ‘no’. My cousins begged for me to come, every year, and my dad’s answer never changed. The couple times I did attend, I’d watch from the sidelines but never in the mix: the dancing that saw bodies pressed against each other, sweaty, intimate but hardly sexualised, the colour, the feathers, the beads, the waistlines, everyone becoming someone they don’t get to be the rest of the year, and nobody, -like nobody - caring. Imagine I could be on the other side of the yellow rope, dancing behind a truck blaring the island’s favourite artists. Just imagine.

When I moved away from the Caribbean, I stopped going to Carnival altogether, and I filed the whole thing in the “I know about this, no need to experience it further, too old now anyway” folder. So when @bermuda invited me to host @windcollective, I came thinking I already knew this culture. What could be novel?

In comes ‘J’ouvert’. The dark before dawn, before the pretty costumes, when you cover yourself in paint and the whole day begins. My ancestors made these dances out of freedom, out of the morning they woke up no longer owned. And when I finally put on that costume, when I considered the story and lived it, I might met the version of myself that has been locked away, dismissed, grown out of. Who I once was, even if only by proximity, but realise I still am. I understood why my cousins annoyed my dad to let them take me, why people dance like they’re in love with life, why it’s still beautiful to celebrate from the sidelines. The colour. The joy. Pure and contagious. You move with it. Waist whining, heart full, ready for di road.

I can’t wait to share more about this trip, and “that time in Bermuda.”

“Its not what you know, its who you know” - this is what you need to know..

The older I get, the more I realise that opportunities rarely come from applications.

They come from people.

Conversations.
Introductions.
Recommendations.
Community.

Your network isn’t about collecting contacts.

It’s about building genuine relationships with good people.

Get out.
Meet people.
Stay curious.

You never know who’s sitting at the next table. 👊❤️
