Nombuso Mathibela & Naledi Chai, our residents during 2024, present this outcome of their work during this period.

Hi! Congo is an ongoing four-part radio play centering the Democratic Republic of Congo. This project tells stories of the intangible ruins and consequences of colonial extractive economies through theories of home, dislocated diaries and displaced memories. The work references and derives its title from South African musician, guitarist and vocalist Dr. Philip Tabane and his band Malombo.
