Black Discourse Sonic Identity

Ghana, Accra
14 May, 2023

Cleto’s first Sonic Dissertation we couldn’t help ourselves but to invite Cleto to curate a unique sound scape for the I SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN, “Everything You Wear is Political: Fashion and Black Feminist Politic” salon.
‍
Take a moment and look at what you are wearing. How does it link to your politics? What does your political aesthetic align to? Focusing on Black people as the vanguards of all things activism, fashion, arts, and culture, the salon interrogates and celebrates these intersections from a Black feminist lens. Watch it here.

006 On The Art of Returning
Maya June Mansour and Madinah Farhannah Thompson
3:33
Like the home, the Scott Family has adapted to its environment, holding and preserving the natural changes that come with family hood. From the hands of Kenneth Scott, to the maintenance of Madam Scott and now to the responsibility of the younger descendant; what has been inherited expects preservation of the old in a rapidly changing Accra environment.The Scott house has inadvertently created three archetypes: The Stewards, The Futurists and The Madam. This archival installation weaves together these complicating narratives and relationships to the house, prompting questions about lineage, change and legacy. The Black Discourse Archivist Team

And the visuals are really strong as well...
Lord Tusk

The wood paneling, slatted wings and multi-crossed ventilation of the Scott House take a modernist design approach that appreciates, preserves and adapts to the tropical climate ofAccra. Intentionally designed methods of cooling, shade and escapism have offered a refuge to the multi generational Scott family since ‘61. A replica of the home was built on the grounds years later expanding the capacity of the design to house more people, hold more dinners, and offer more space.
