Panel Discussion: ITHUMBA – Ntando Cele on performances in public space, Jul. 23 2012 @ Goethe

ITHUMBA is the title of a performance and the embodiment of the spirit of Mary Muthoni Nyanjiru, who was killed in a protest in 1922. Nyanjiru challenged her people and the British government to release Harry Thuku.

In Ithumba Ntando Cele is collaborating with Mumbi Kaigwa in looking at how protests have risen in the past. And if women today had to protest, what would be the trigger? Would they leave their high heels behind? What would that dance be? “My interest is in the act of gathering, chanting slogans and finally the act of shaming the onlookers by pulling up their dresses and revealing their private parts, which is still considered a curse present day” says Ntando.

The artist’s motivation, work progress and her experience of performing art in public spaces both in Africa and Europe, will be explored during the panel on July 23rd, at 6 pm. The performance is planned for July 27th in front of the Kuona Trust compound.

The panel is organized by Goethe-Institut Kenya in collaboration with Kuona Trust.
