ZA 2017, D Penny Siopis, Print colour & b/w, digital, 10 min, engl. OV, Galerie Stevenson
The film revolves around „Skokiaan“, an illegal brew made by Africans during the colonial era. It was outlawed by the authorities, so the brew itself became a form of resistance. The homonymous jazz tune by August Msarurgwa was covered by Louis Armstrong, whose visit to Southern Africa in 1960 serves as one of many points of convergence that link political, cultural and personal narratives.
