As part of the ongoing exhibition Ré-imaginer le passé at the KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art Elsa M'Bala will present a live radio show unfolding in space, using music tapes she found in Dakar, Senegal: an all-encompassing archive of 50000 music tapes from the African continent spanning over 40 years. The Ass Niang Collection includes a myraid of genres, including rumba, highlife, mbalax and makossa.

Elsa M’Bala is one of the rare female sound artists of African descent. By using technology as an empowering tool and through her own keen observations, she explores further the interconnections between race, gender, technology and spirituality.
