Through this performance, Bomani uncovers the hidden narratives of how sisal became an instrument of colonial expansion, deeply tied to the brutal realities of forced labor, indigenous dispossession, resistance, and environmental damage.\r\n\r\nDrawing on both personal history and historical accounts, Bomani takes the audience on a journey through a landscape that exposes the erasures and silences of colonial history, while confronting its present-day socio-political and cultural ramifications. The evening includes an immersive soundscape composed by the artist, followed by further exploration and discussion.\r\n\r\nThe performance shows the present state of a work-in-progress by Kathleen Bomani. She is currently a Solitude fellow in cooperation with Theater Rampe in Stuttgart."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_txt","bgcolor":"has-bg-grey","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":12,"txt_cols":"is-1-txtcol","txt":"<p class=\"is-size-6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/person\/kathleen-bomani\/\">Kathleen Bomani<\/a> is a multi-disciplinary cultural practitioner.
