Art is the Medium
"Dear Lover", she begins to speak, unseen, her disembodied consciousness extending an invite into a world of creation.
The music plays, each string and key carefully woven as the words are truthfully spoken: "No longer just an incarnation, I am the threads in words that spell out the birth of Nubian Queen."
Curious? Come and see Praise Mangena in a collaborative project of music, movement and spoken word poetry.
