A few words about your artistic journey

Associate artist at Kabako Studios, collaborates in several projects. I recently signed with Faustin Linyekula, soundtrack and video of his performance "My Body, my Archives" at the Tate Modern Museum; music and video of "Entre-Deux: Testament" by Dorine Mokha, with whom I co-direct the Art’gument project.

How long have you been an artist?

From the first professional contract, it’s been 13 years. But I’ve been working in rap music for more than 20 years.

Why did you apply for this grant? How will the grant support you?

Because I needed the financial support to concretize this creation that I started to think about in the middle of this crisis. This grant will help me to pay mainly a few fees and per diem during the time of the residency.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

Produce this work to open a space for sharing with the other invited artists;
Find broadcasting space so that it can be seen and heard by a large audience.
