Rhael ‘LionHeart’ Cape

Carnival, as described by Michail Bachtin, is where “life is subject only to its own laws, that is, the laws of its own freedom.”
Those With Walls for Windows is a meditation and exploration into the “laws of freedom.” Through poetry, an art form with its own relationship to freedom and control, the work investigates the space of diaspora, a place where forgetting, remembering, and reimagining act as architectural devices in the urban planning of the diasporic psyche.
For LionHeart, carnival is a space of recovery and emancipation; a place of cultural and psychological real estate; a space to dwell, rest, repair, grow, and evolve.
Those With Walls for Windows is an aural–visual– textual–oral tapestry that uses performance, rhythm and erasure as structuring devices, a ‘call to arms’ for sonic way finders who seek Carnival’s joyous, redemptive liberation.
