Replace Truth by Trance
Thursday 25 Feb 2021 from 6pm to 7:20pm
Replace Truth by Trance is an experimental all original music mix by Nkisi about the importance of personal performative narrative as a way to re-enchant the world.
This composition draws its inspiration from the exhibition "visionary company" by the artist Wu Tsang.
"The way in which our memory seems to function,
is in the form of an image.
To speak of remembering what never happened,
since nothing is known unless somebody does.
How do you know?
Change of sight,
if just for the twisted and the woke.
Again and again and again,
Rejecting.
Otherworldly,
as if transmitted from another dimension."

As co-founder of NON Records, a collective of African artists and of the diaspora, using sound as their primary media, to articulate the visible and invisible structures that create binaries in society, and in turn distribute power. Nkisi’s philosophy and music are marked by a certain punk sensibility, which is accompanied by a political opposition to conformity. Her DJ sets are inspired by a wide range of influences to create a frantic and jubilant dance experience. Her production deeply reflects these inspirations and offers a sound as implacable as evocative.
