Interview with Moor Mother
SONIC ACTS ACADEMY
Interview with Moor Mother
25 February 2018 - Dansmakers, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
---
There is a tendency to focus on Afrofuturism as solely offering an alternate future or past, but what is also really important is how it critiques the present and especially the genealogy of now. Moor Mother addresses those issues as one half of the literary and artistic collective Black Quantum Futurism. Through BQF’s theoretic framework and her own creative process, Moor Mother’s work explores the importance of practical (artistic) work and ways to legitimise cultural knowledge. We will hear more about her practice in a live interview on the Academy stage.
Moor Mother (US) is an experimental music project by Philadelphian musician, poet, and community activist Camae Ayewa. She is one half of the Black Quantum Futurism Collective. Moor Mother is a self-described Afrofuturist, using sound and lyricism to reformulate Afrocentric concepts of memory, history, and the future. Her music is at the intersection of noise, free jazz, punk, and rap. Moor Mother’s debut album, Fetish Bones, was a non-linear telling of black American history through spoken word, thickets of samples, and looped electronics. Camae Ayewa is a 2016 Leeway Award recipient and 2016 Blade of Grass Fellow.
