Moya is a phrase used to define a spirit, a soul or other presence.
Woza Moya is an expression used to summon or call
Moya to one’s presence. Johannesburg’s landscape is a continuous shape shifter for most of its inhabitants.
Woza Moya is a site-specific project that summons
Moya and explores spirituality in Johannesburg. Using the Goethe on Main project space and its neighboring sites, the project investigates what spirituality is in the city and how its inhabitants convey it through visuals, sound and performance.
Woza Moya invites its audience to engage with experimental elements that mediate spirituality and usher transcendence. Marie Fricout and Mbali Dhlamini invite the public to experiment with potential mediators that channel spirituality and transcendence in an art context.

In Closing
20th November 2016, time: to be confirmed
In closing this phase of the WozaMoya conversation, we invite you to join us,
as we try to create some sort of closure and ecology to substances evoked
throughout the project, by walking with us to Jeppe Park to lay several of the
elements appropriated throughout the conversation.
