Artist Statement by Elsa M'bala: For the performance as part of Unexpected Lessons – Decolonizing Memory and Knowledge, I will be live recording the talks that happen prior to my performance and will live arrange it into a musical piece. In this way, I will deal with and address the direct knowledge and information of the talks, and incorporate it into my performance. In the second half, happening towards the end of the event, I will be playing recordings from the event that is happening simultaneously in Nairobi, giving it to the Berlin audience in a live performance.
