“We follow the damp footsteps of colonizers who, 500 years ago, set course toward what they were not looking for. We cross the Atlantic ocean to rewrite what has been written about us. In our hands, a hybrid and impure cutting searches for ground—taking root where wealth and well-being are supposedly protected by passports and borders. Tattooed in the ear, a deep sonic memory, blurred by time re-emerges, glowing through electric cables, colorful lights and speakers. Ancestral cuts from behind the decks carve pathways for our decolonial odysseys.” (—DJ Curiquingue)

This sonic intervention invites everyone who feels touched by these sounds—those who grew up with them or carry them elsewhere—to come together and dance.
