Growing up, music and dance transformed the energy of our home. My parents would throw parties in our huge council flat garden, that went on into the night. Congolese and Ugandan music play and my family, Aunts, Uncles and cousins would dance in the darkness. Playing, dancing and feeling the music vibrate in your chest and feet is a feeling like no other. Nostalgia led me to reimagining the iconic Malick Sidibé photograph, “Nuit de Noël” and exploring childhood memories. The photo shows siblings dancing, these are my favourite people to dance with and this is why I'm sharing my artwork with you today.
