Kim Karabo Makin, 'On Gaborone, 1985', 2021, Sound Installation, 3mins38sec, (extended version available for installation purposes, ideally on surround sound speakers)

A sound installation that imagines Gaborone in 1985 through a mix and sampling of 'the living archive'. 1985 is described as the year that the Botswana capital 'lost it's innocence', due to a number of violent raids by the South African Defense Force (Nyelele & Drake, 1985). Significantly, the raid on 14 June 1985, led to the demise of Medu Art Ensemble overnight.

Final mix & master by Ts'epo Adoro
