Durban, South Africa
28 August – 3 September
Dancer/choreographer, Pak Ndjamena and videographer, Ivan Barros, participated in both editions of the JOMBA! 2021 and 2022 festival with the dance films “IN-BOX” and “One Step at a Time”. Both films were commissioned by the festival. From this rich collaborative experience, intertwining dance and audiovisual, arose the desire to share with other artists the very unique way in which these two Mozambican artists create their films and the relationship between the moving body and the movement of the camera. Ivan Barros (videographer) and Pak Ndjamena (choreographer and dancer) will share their experience of producing dance films, through a seven-day workshop residency, with the participation of eight artists: four dancers and four videographers. Outcomes to be viewed at the 25th JOMBA! Festival.

Pak Ndjamena is a multifaceted artist who does not see art in a linear way and is interested in collaborations with artists of various artistic genres and from different geographies. Pak does not consider himself fluent in any language or belonging to a geographic territory dissociated from art. Despite being proud of his African roots, he considers himself a world citizen and sees art as a common language that allows him to communicate with colleagues from anywhere in the world. As a result of this vision, Pak has travelled to over 10 countries to showcase his art in its various forms. With contemporary dance as the most prominent, Pak was the winner of the Mozal Arts & Culture Award 2019 (in the Dance category) in Maputo, Mozambique.
Ivan Barros is a Mozambican photographer and filmmaker. Enthusiastic and passionate about audiovisual, he is constantly working with Mozambican performers to promote the country’s artistic scene and to challenge himself out of his comfort zone. His career has led him to travel across almost all of rural Mozambique, enabling him to share bits and pieces of his country with the world through social media platforms.
