Studio 170│Residency | Installation | Thursday, April 24 Marcelline Mandeng Nken: Rush Hour

Rush Hour is a performance installation that unfolds inside a moving train as a cinematic narrative structure. From themes of migration, displacement, and time travel, it links the concept of Sankofa, a call back into history to remember, with the theory of self-reference as fertile ground for sculptural forms, spatial interventions, and movement phrases.
