Water Moves The Soul

New!
Blog - from Baraka's current project,
WATER MOVES THE SOUL,
touring the slave dungeons of
Ghana, Africa

Upcoming 2008

Immersed in an ambient otherworldly environment of voices, natural and inorganic sounds, WATER MOVES THE SOUL traces the transatlantic slave voyage from Africa to America; unearthing the ancestral, emotional and spiritual memories of a ‘people’  - who endured one of the most horrific experiences in World history.  

Through physical reenactments of spatial configurations existing on board the journey and re-imagined memories, Water moves between states of contraction to moments of release; a testimony to true survival in the midst of loss and longing.

The project WATER MOVES THE SOUL is part of a 2006 Jerome Hill Travel and study grant to Ghana, West Africa, to study the experiences of slaves in the African slave trade and Atlantic slave trade routes.
