"Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a vast, chaotic mega-city of 12 million. Water is privatized and the electric grid is capricious. Here, street artists’ performances are wildly creative, angry, irreverent, often shocking. With names like Kongo Astronaut, Strombo, and Kill Bill, they masterfully repurpose urban detritus (computer parts, TV sets, bullet shells, machetes) and work with fire and paint, wax and blood — to critique government corruption, Western exploitation (their nation was literally once the private property of Belgium’s King Léopold II), and entrenched poverty. SYSTEM K reveals a vibrant, raw, politically astute world of performance art the likes of which exist nowhere else on earth." - Film Forum

Today's Music Feature is Sunni Colón's "Provide"
“Influences from Africa and Brazil, along with my musical knowledge of the ’70s and ’80s, inspired my new single [...] I worked through and arranged gliding horns and a bridge with a dazzling flute solo, that invokes early ’70s jazz-funk explorations, before ultimately devolving into an atonal piano outro.” - Sunni Colón

Today's Cinema Feature: Asinnajaq's "Three Thousand"
"In this short film, Inuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imaginary universe—14 minutes of luminescent, archive-inspired cinema that recast the present, past and future of her people in a radiant new light.
Diving into the NFB’s vast archive, she parses the complicated cinematic representation of the Inuit, harvesting fleeting truths and fortuitous accidents from a range of sources—newsreels, propaganda, ethnographic docs, and work by Indigenous filmmakers. Embedding historic footage into original animation, she conjures up a vision of hope and beautiful possibility." - National Film Board of Canada

Today's Music Feature: Introvert by Little Simz
"Through her engaging observations, Simz turns 'Introvert' into an elaborate portrait of inner turmoil. [...] She realizes she bottles up all of her most fretful emotions and can only exorcise them through her music. 'One day I’m wordless, next day I’m a wordsmith/Close to success but to happiness I’m the furthest,' she raps, tumbling words out in stark admission of vulnerability." - Pitchfork
