-Moony shares his journey into music which begin in his room during the COVID 19 pandemic. As the reach of his raps increased, mentors and collaborators who opened their homes and studios to help shape his sound.
Though these spaces are now lost, All-Mooney speaks of the sounds of resistance that have emerged from previous movements. The 2019 Sudanese Revolution and Black Lives Matter both transformed the Sudanese creative scene, and his own practice. He looks to a hopeful future beyond the war, where a sound exists that bears the scars of todays wounds.
The Sudan crisis has displaced more than 2 million people since it began on 15th April 2023. Among those forced to migrate for their safety are musicians and creatives who have had their creative practice disrupted by this violent war. As these creative networks are torn apart, their practices will now be a new timestamp in Sudan's long relationship between displacement patterns and the evolution of the arts.
Space Black proudly invites Izzo, Founder of Al Rassa to takeover Oroko Radio's airwaves and curate a diverse lineup of recently displaced Sudanese creatives. Each artist will share the journey of their bodies and craft from A→B within and beyond Sudan. From the early days of their practice, to the monumental shift during the 2019 revolution and now, the outbreak of war.
The collection looks to be the beginning of a critical digital archive; documenting memoirs, sounds and conversations to capture the subsequent patterns of migration amongst creatives due to the 2023 Sudan War.
The show airs on 3rd July 2023, day 79 of the Sudan War.
