It's essential to generate life, dialogue, understanding, and to celebrate humanity. In times of widespread pandemic, raising questions about the preservation of democracy, the integrity of public health, and our own notions of individuality, we are dragged into a process of change. Mudança is an encounter between the artist Welket Bungué and the Portuguese parliamentary politician Joacine Katar Moreira. Here they question the essence of their crafts, making an unexpected paradigm of imminent revolution resound.
Tradição e Imaginação
Director
In Benin, people are still afraid of the sea, memories of a past of slavery are kept. A memory that resists. It is on the main road in the city of Ouidah, “The route of the slaves”, in the heavy monuments to abandonment, in the agendas of gestures danced to the sound of the wind and the sea. It is the words of the elders that revitalize the light, and the hope of rediscovering what has been lost.
