Ep. 67: Caminantes with Ahmed Moneka
November 17, 2021
Especially in North America, there’s division and boundaries. As an artist I feel we are hoping to connect with each other to reflect that to society, and for people to understand and acknowledge each other wherever we are, gender, colour, whatever. – Ahmed Moneka
Welcome back to Caminantes! In this series you’re invited behind the curtain of the 2021 CAMINOS festival and into the creative minds of this year’s ‘Caminantes’, those who are making the path as they go. The next series of episodes will feature artists who have been part of past CAMINOS festivals, and their insights on new work development!
This week features theatre artist and musician Ahmed Moneka. We talk about the power of listening, how music and theatre inspire him, and he shares insights on what makes a powerful ensemble collaboration.
Theme music is ‘Dejaron Huellas’ by Beny Esguerra and New Tradition Music. Listen to the full track here!
