Annotations for Performer: Kofi

So, I chose a text by Baldwin about racism and the color black.

Texts woven together with poems written by James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, and Martin Luther King Jr. plays is narrated while Mikel and Kofi perform. On the projection in the background, you can see the live event organized in Geneva during the projects exhibition when Mikel and Kofi created a gathering which opened an alternative platform, shaped through art, hip hope battles and community. Through this event, they created space for connection, visibility, and collaboration with local Black artists in Geneva, offering a powerful reminder that community can be built even in places where it feels invisible. All this in a city where we questioned as Afro-Greeks whether a Black community exists.

Street dance by dancers Mikel Ergar and Kofi Yadom. The recitation was done by Grace Nwoke. Poem "Where I Am" by Marcelino DosSantos.
