Always an honour to collaborate with the friends and family. Thank you to everyone involved for the shared energy that brought this project to life. This immersive live performance, curated by South London-based musical movement and curatorial platform Touching Bass, was developed in response to ‘Ibrahim Mahama: Lazarus’, an exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey reviving the ecosystem of a disused silo space in Tamale, Ghana. In ‘Rose Of Jericho (A Song For Mahama)’, five artists of West and Central African heritage – anaiis, Brother Portrait, Yahael Camara Onono, Sonzi and Jali Bakary Konteh – extend the narrative of the show through vocals and instrumentals centred on resilience and rebirth. As the artists state: ‘We are products of the past, of labour, nurturing and sacrifice’ - a past that is ‘ahead of us, looking back’. Watch the full video on the White Cube YouTube Channel.
