about

The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Recorded at Sound Savers by Mark Jasper
Mixed by Niadzi Muzira

lyrics

Yellow sunset, acacia tree
Lion king and slavery
These are not the sums of black history
These are adopted mythologies
Out dated anthologies of colonial supremacy
You can by it in a spray can
Africa Lynx
Build up the Pyramid
Far from the Sphinx

And at the Museum
At the museum they decontextualise
At the museum, Culture dies
Ad nauseam look into real eyes
Behind those wooden masks there is real faces
Entire empires outside display cases

What can I do, What Can I Do, What Can I do?
to get back stolen lands
I can barely afford to by name brands
Plaster my body with master’s approval
A tick in the box that was made for me
Doing my bit for mass slavery
Wearing the rubber that poured out the tree
Where they hacked up Patrice to stop democracy

And at the Museum
At the museum they Sterilise
At the museum, Culture dies
Ad nauseam look into real eyes

What about Miriam Makaba
She was a fighter we could remember
What about Funmilayo Kuti
Thrown out a window, Zombies on Duty
What about Olive Morris
Squatter from Brixton gave black families Solace
What about Angela Davis
Queer Black Panther still here to save us

But at the Museum
At the museum they sanitise
At the museum, Culture dies
Ad nauseam look into real eyes
