S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 8 “Kinkurimba” prototypes an artistic educational infrastructure that seeks to connect the regions of Southern Africa and Northern Europe toward new cultural exchanges. The project emphasizes non-commercial, ecological, and local cultural approaches to (art) education in Southern African contexts to put non-western and alternative approaches into play alongside critical artistic pedagogy from Scandinavia. In doing so, the project seeks to collapse geography and highlight shared values that encourage experimental and critical approaches to art as a pedagogical and social infrastructure across borders.
In this eighth episode of the ongoing program S for Sound, S for Solidarity (SfS, SfS) - the current Kinkurimba group unfolds their practices through a new sonic episode set across Congo, Zambia, Brazil, and Denmark. By combining monologues, speeches, and poetry readings mixed with fragments of the discursive event that launched the Kinkurimba project, the new episode highlights both current trajectories and the origins of the collective. Set to a context specific soundtrack including Zamrock and Kuyabile with lo-fi recordings of the natural settings where the group is located, the episode seeks to draw a rich portrait that serves as a sonic introduction to Kinkurimba.
A special thanks to Radio alHara, Anawana Haloba, Livingstone Office for Contemporary Art (LoCA), Morten Poulsen, and The Danish Institute in Rome for helping in the realization of this project.

Kinkurimba is a socially-engaged pedagogical project that was initiated by Kabila Kyowa in collaboration with f.eks. and Livingstone Office for Contemporary Art in 2024. Now operating as a mostly online international collective, Kinkurimba was initially launched as a gathering at the library of Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg as a “detournament” that included a cross-border exchange and a collectively designed “kinkurimba” poster as a public artwork. This episode features the voices of the current Kinkurimba collective members Kabila Kyowa Stephane (CD/BR), Luyando Muleya (ZM), Simone Dos Santos Palmiera (BR), Joseph Chembe (Joe Sage) (ZM), and Scott William Raby (DK/US) as well as many other special guests.

Lumbunghissima is a collective exhibition organized by an informal group of art and cultural workers who gather in monthly assemblies under the name Diventare Lumbung (Becoming Lumbung) in Italy. Within Lumbunghissima, the spaces of Gudskul Ekosistem in Jakarta, will be filled with geographies, languages, and contexts that intertwine to activate new and unexpected ecosystems. Lumbunghissima's genesis stems from online interactions between Gudskul Ekosistem and art and cultural workers in Italy at Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna (MAMbo) in Bologna (IT) initiated by Paola Pietronave in July of 2024.
S for Sound, S for Solidarity, Episode 6 & 7:
“Listening & Walking”
Featuring Hannibal Andersen (DK) & Verdensrommet (NO)
“Listening & Walking”
Featuring Hannibal Andersen (DK) & Verdensrommet (NO)
S for Sound, S for Solidarity: Listening & Walking is a site-specific guided listening walk through Aalborg, where we collectively listen to a double feature of the two new episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 6 with Hannibal Andersen and episode 7 with Verdensrommet as they are premiering on Radio alHara.
With a starting point in Andersen’s public art project “Everything Must Go (Alt Skal Væk)” that took place in Aalborg in 2022, and following up on his ongoing practice incorporating critical gamification in New York, to creating experimental playground environments in Copenhagen, the sixth episode traces intriguing and lesser known trajectories across Andersen’s recent practice. A red thread running through the conversation with Andersen in Episode 6 is art’s role in rethinking ownership and property relations, especially in relation to affordable housing and reconsidering the economics and accessibility of the built environment across local and international contexts.
In the seventh episode members from the experimental, non-profit art organization Verdensrommet unpack their positions within the institution and network for non-EU immigrant artists and creatives in Norway. In connecting a conversation between the peripheral contexts of Trondheim, Norway and Aalborg, Denmark artists and art workers Sara Shooshtari (IR) and Tara Fraser (AU) discuss with Scott William Raby similarities, differences, and challenges they recognize as artists and immigrants located in Norway and Denmark. By doing so, they not only look to highlight and share challenges non-EU immigrant artists face in Scandinavia, but also seek to share transnational knowledge and find solidarity in the art field and more broadly.

Hannibal Andersen (DK) creates images, objects, and interventions that probe the tenets of economic dogma and its impact on society. Through themes such as money, debt, property relations, the commons, and the relentless advance of privatization, his work examines the invisible power of capital and the ideology that sustains it. Andersen’s work has appeared in a wide range of contexts, including Malmö Konsthall, P.A.D. Projects in New York, MAXXI in Rome, PET in Athens, and several institutions in Denmark — including Rønnebæksholm, Den Frie, f.eks., Vermilion Sands, and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, among others.
Verdensrommet (NO) is an artist-powered mutual support network by and for non-EU/EEA creative professionals based in Norway. The network is a grassroots and volunteer-led group of 200+ creative professionals across the country. The network was initiated in March, 2020 to address the precarious conditions of visual artists whose citizenship led them to slip through the state’s support net.
