Cynetart Dresden - Magandzelo - Fri 28. 10. 2022
Magandzelo is a tsonga word for ritual. Nkhensani Mkhari will be offering a ritual of meditation or »Ehleketa hi vuenti« which functions to (re)connect the participants with their ancestral lineage.
The meditational practice acts as a tool for (re)memorialization. Acting as a vehicle to explore what Individuality is, what collectivity is and what it means to share space. A transtemporal ephemeral gesture looking back and forward in time. For this iteration the performance takes place within the metaverse through a custom made shamanic avatar. In this space the performance aims at destabilizing the rootedness of digital space(s) as manifestations built with contemporary computer engineering and softwares for practical objectives, but it also has a symbolic goal as a rhizomatic vibration seeking to hybridize this virtual world.
Performance, guided meditation by Nkhensani Mhakari
