As part of LIVE Biennale, Western Front is pleased to present Samra Mayanja’s Bone Deep Deliverance (SCREAM II). The performance is a continuation of an earlier sound work by the artist titled SCREAM, that was vocalised by a black experimental choir that the artist assembled in 2020.

Bone Deep Deliverance (SCREAM II) performatively and sonically explores engulfment, as in;

-telling a joke

-about a secret sky

-that can’t be told otherwise.

Working within the sonic architecture of Mayanja’s vocal improvisations are two vocalists, Oluwasola Olowo-Ake and Oluwasayo Olowo-Ake, cellist Peggy Lee, and alto saxophonist Andromeda Monk.
