MY BODY, MY SPACE - THE SOUND OF MASKS - A 4 PART WEBINAR SERIES

What is the relationship between dance and film? How can our stories be told through movement? How do we represent ourselves? This four part webinar series looks at themes explored in the 2018 documentary “The Sound of Masks” with a group of artists and academics from Mozambique and South Africa.

The webinars were hosted by Lionfish Productions during the MY BODY, MY SPACE Festival 2021 and co-produced with Centro Cultural Franco Moçambicano.
