Kufa na Kupona - The phrase directly translates to "death and healing" in Swahili, but it's used as an expression meaning “by all means necessary."
In this 4-hour participatory performance, the artist draws from personal sorrow to create a shared space for reflection, support and resilience. Together, we will sew pieces of paper into a "paper quilt," each stitch symbolizing the fragile yet powerful act of mending our hearts and helping others through grief. This collaborative creation embodies the tender, often painstaking process of reassembling ourselves and supporting one another in times of loss.
