Project
Maggot Brain II: A Soliloquy of Ghosts
In Maggot Brain II: A Soliloquy of Ghosts is a metaphysical, poetic journey and search for worlds no longer subject to colonial imaginations. Mathieu Charles creates an ode to the multidimensionality of the African Diaspora through text, sound, smell and movement. He samples different mythologies and cosmologies to trace the idea of a Diaspora Continuum through possessed landscapes.
