RE/MEMBER YOUR DESCENDANTS
If it’s true that when we call upon our ancestors they assist us with the skills they were most adept at in the physical plane, the question becomes what will we become ancestors of and what will our descendants call upon us for? Xabiso Vili explores this question with the audience in the hopes that we can better understand ourselves, our collective histories, and our collective futures.
