RICH MNISI KU HAHAMA 21

Описание: This started with a nightmare.

My mother dreamt of a snake on her back. When she turned to look at it, she saw an intense green creature, frightening and fluid, dangerous and beautiful. My journey started here, and led me to Congo’s Bushongo mythology and to Bumba, the god of vomit. There was nothing, and then there was Bumba, shaping first the sun and moon, and then the rest of the natural world from that acidic pain and discomfort. Unlike most of our world’s origin stories, this one proposes that the beauty and life of our world could be purged instead of birthed.

To live is to embrace this duality. To accept that joy and tragedy, light and darkness, dreams and nightmares are connected, orbiting and defining each other. That duality comes alive in Ku Hahama, a collection of beauty distilled from darkness, like so much of our lived experience.
