Lullaby for a Small Death | When The Jackal Leaves The Sun

Lullaby For A Small Death by the Wali Chafu Collective in Nairobi, compiled an anthology of references that borrow words from past and present ancestors in an attempt to hark to a shared intellectual genealogy, mandate, and history - centering care and community as infinite and timeless resources towards revolution, revelation, and restitution. The collective gathered to think about their idiosyncratic and shared creative education; proposing and referencing alternative canons - re-tracing and re-centering the heritage of East African and global black feminist publishing practices from the 1960's to the 1990's; as well as referring to their own experiments with language, performance and images. For this celebration, Renée Akitelek Mboya and Ngwatilo Mawiyoo will share and discuss a taste of these references, including a special poetry performance by Ngwatilo.

The Wali Chafu Collective includes Margaret Aduto, Ngwatilo Mawiyoo, Neo Sinoxolo Msangi, and Renée Akitelek Mboya.
