Juneteenth Celebration: (RE)VISION

WATA weaves together considerations of ancestry, cross cultural connections, music and migration. Telling the story of Mami Wata, a water deity traced back to West Africa, Central Africa and the Caribbean, in Mckenzie and Yamusangie’s interpretation she is drawn into a dance with The Musician. Musician is tantalized by Mami Wata’s jewels, and in his desire to bring them to the surface, the two circle the lines between finding, taking and finally appreciating. Interweaving a dual narrative of sound and visuals, musicians Melo-Zed, Roxanne Tataei, Boofti and Birame are brought together for the first time. WATA is the culmination of a long-term friendship and exchange between Mckenzie and Yamusangie, opening up an avenue through which they explore their love and fascination with the colour blue, West and Central African Jazz music, as well as their African and Caribbean ancestry. A film supported by Gucci, in partnership with Garage.
