The Healing Power of Cultural Practice

Gugulethu Duma aka Dumama is a musician, composer, sonic poet and creative producer from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Her practice plays with the deconstruction and critique of archaic modes of representation in Southern African/African sonic and performance culture, while also composing music for herself and others.

For this episode, she will discuss her journey with the Goethe-Institut's grants and residency programmes, and the complex poetics of curating in a space scarred by colonialism and apartheid. Gugulethu will welcome us into her multidisciplinary world to vindicate the healing power of her cultural practices and the challenges encountered along the way.
