AXEL KACOUTIÉ
Axel is a sound artist and poet. Redzi and I listened to “How To Remember” , Axel’s piece about discovering himself within a racist world that tries to shape and deny black people their own identity and experience. We felt like we had been taken on a journey. Listening to the piece was the same as reading a novel - after those short 11 minutes we felt like we had voices and ideas that were swimming around in our minds long after the audio had ended. How does he do it? Discover here.
