Description:
M.I.A’s voice is a weapon speaking as much life into the politics of body, space and belonging, as it does to current intimacies and violences between placelessness, industry commodification, the deluge of gatekeeper mentality in the west and internet consumability.
Filmed & Directed by Dani O'Neill
Edited by Elijah Ndoumbé
Dani Kyengo O'Neill is a documenter and digital artist. She is also a music maker, vinyl selector, DJ - and local fly-by-night producer who curates sounds under the guise "Shy Brown Auntii" or "Būjin Buujee". Her work involves playing with images and memory, and confronting post-colonial myths involving narratives of migration: and she has been awarded a National Arts Festival Arts Journalist award for photography and digital storytelling in 2016. When she is not assisting at the Stevenson, or being a sharp-tongued gal, she's incubating sonic journeys of resistance, visibility and healing on the dancefloor.
Elijah Ndoumbé works to challenge the dominant narrative around members of their black, brown, queer and trans community as pathologized beings (and rather, recognizing the structures in place as pathological). They are striving towards embodied methods of artistic connection, revolution, and radical ways of seeing. Their work includes photography, film, writing, music, and movement. They are a Paris-born artist, currently based between South Africa and California
