Moya Michael: It’s like a Finger Pointing a Way to the Moon

With It’s like a Finger Pointing a Way to the Moon, Brussels-based artist Moya Michael is presenting her work in Berlin for the first time. In a multi-faceted piece combining video, choreography and musical composition, she reflects on her encounters with !Amace, Be and their Ju/’Hoansi and !Kung families.
In the desert regions of Namibia and South Africa, which have been severely affected by climate change and drought, these indigenous San communities participate in the economic system by operating a “living museum,” while maintaining a lifestyle outside the labor and housing markets. Western tourists pay a fixed price to observe and accompany them in their daily work and practices of survival: hunting, crafting, making fire, preparing food and socializing.
Moya Michael, who grew up under the South African apartheid system and is related to the Khoi and San by descent, encounters the community as an outsider, whilst building a layered, nuanced exploration of identity and the plurality of self. In a non-linear narrative, she questions the cultural and economic “value” of a self-determined life in a world permeated by colonial and capitalist power relations.
