collective improv(e)ment with Dumama

In this mini-series for Jazzwoche Berlin #8, host Aida
Baghernejad speaks with four artists who each bring a unique
perspective to this year's theme, "collective
improv(e)ment." Together, they reflect on improvisation,
collaboration, movement and the ways collective practices can
shape artistic and social change.


Today's guest: Gugulethu Duma aka Dumama – musician, composer,
sonic poet and cultural researcher. The conversation explores
collective memory, improvisation as embodied knowledge, ancestral
sound practices and the relationship between voice, movement and
community. Dumama also reflects on making art between South
Africa and Berlin, the challenges of sustaining an artistic
practice, and why sound can become a space for transformation,
belonging and liberation.
