In the single-shot film Conakry, shot in the House of World Cultures in Berlin, Portuguese poet Grada Kilomba and American radio activist Diana McCarty reflect on a film of a 1972 congress and exhibition hosted by Amílcar Cabral, founder of the ‘African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde’. A complex layering of personal voices and archival film, the work insists on the contemporary relevance of all-but-forgotten revolutionary imagery.
