This interactive installation engages the screen, its politics, representations, land justice and spirituality through various de-colonial interventions. Its three stop-motion films —Emhlabeni by Themba Khumalo, Ukuhlamba by Mbali Dhlamini and Godide Episode 2 by Phumulani Ntuli — consider land dispossession, exile and migration. Each features subjects seeking refuge through the construction of new worlds, asking whether or not it’s possible to create a true utopia.

Comprised of Mbali Dhlamini  and Phumulani Ntuli, Preempt Group is a collective of artists working with hybrid and trans-media technologies performance, film and workshops. Its work mainly focuses on open source technologies and how they can be used to position artistic practice and the African continent while simultaneously reflecting on decolonial strategies.
