ShebeenDUB - nora chipaumire

Multi award winning international artist, nora chipaumire makes her Dance Umbrella Festival debut with an audio-visual adventure into dub culture. Part gig, part dance performance, part social, chipaumire celebrates the creative and law-defying possibilities of dub, a musical style that emerged in the late 60s and early 70s - and remains relevant today. chipaumire maintains that of the many African diasporic inventions, dub is the most provocative, questioning both empire and the Commonwealth ‘assumptions of aesthetics and human rights.’ chipaumire will be joined by international artists including tyroneisaacstuart (UK), Yinka Esi Graves (UK/Spain) and Marguerite Hemmings (USA). nora chipaumire is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice centres the black performing body.
