FATIMA AND THE DUST – a listening session with Leila Bencharnia

Moroccan artist and composer Leila Bencharnia presents ‘Fatima and the Dust’, a new sound piece, and music selections at the Chimurenga Factory on Friday 6 June, from 6.30pm

‘Fatima and the Dust’ delves into the spiritual world of Gnawa, rooted in Sufism and other African spiritualities, where music and rituals are pathways between the earthly and the divine. The piece is a tribute to the silent yet essential role of women—guardians of ancestral heritage, keepers of rituals, and weavers of the unseen threads that sustain their communities.
