Selected Projects 2024:

1. A Past Present
by Carlota Matos
   residency: 5 - 30 August 2024
   public presentation: 30 August 2024 at 7pm

A Past Present is a performance project by artist Carlota Matos with her mother, Fátima Matos, who "returned" from Mozambique at the age of 12, and MoYah, a Mozambican hip-hop and afrofusion artist. Between the intimate and the political, the project addresses the theme of returnees, decolonisation, culture shock, and personal issues of identity, family and generational conflicts. What is it like to "return" to a country you've never been to, or to move to a colonising country? What is a child's perspective on a political situation they don't understand? What is the impact of these discoveries as an adult?
