The second volume of ISPILI Magazine is a tribute to Eastern Cape born cultural worker, storyteller, healer and Xhosa music bow master, Madosini. For this issue, we’re interested in the various ways of knowing around ISINGQI /sound-ing, the diverse vibrational/ sonic dimensions and how they in themselves are modalities of knowing and traversing the universe, of communicating, channeling: the relationship between the sonic and ontic.

For this intended activation we aim to curate a space that promotes healing through ritual:
interaction, collaboration and participation.

This will be achieved through pop-up exhibition, sound installation, live sonic transmissions, dialogue, and a short film screening.

Our guests for this event are Jazz-Infused-Xhosa-Folk femme duo THESIS ZA.
