Interview by Forensis Collective, Katía Truijen, Philipp Rhensius
With their performance «The Drum and The Bird» at Rewire festival 2025, Forensis and Bill Kouliglas unearth the echoes of colonial violence in Namibia – amplifying erased voices and the land’s testimony. A conversation about how sound can make history audible.
Visiting an old friend becomes a journey through sound, memory, and change. Inspired by the pounding bass of Kenyan artists Lord Spikeheart and Slikback, both performing at Rewire festival 2025, this short fiction piece reflects on old routines and what inevitably shifts.
