Messengers of the Sun - Magical layers - Black Atlantic interactions.
PERFORMANCE: ANTONIO JOSE GUZMAN & IVA JANKOVIC - 27 Nov 2022, 2 Apr 2023
Messengers of the Sun is a project consisting of performances and textile installation that explores multiple magical layers of Black Atlantic interactions. Taking the form of an Afrofuturist ceremonial procession led by music and dancers, the performance moves through the museum. The title refers to a mythical story in which the lost children of the prophet Sun Ra are “messengers of the sun.” They live in the Sirius-B galaxy, to which ancestors from the African diaspora migrated in times of destruction in Sub-Saharan Africa.
