Songs of Freedom

Based on the natural connection between the arts and the work of healing and resistance, MWA's parent group, Iya for LandCulture and Resistance, is creating an artists' collective called Songs of Freedom. Moyo Wa Africa will have their own branch within Songs of Freedom. SOF will represent artists of all kinds who are committed to using their creative work to support decolonization work. Artists who sign with Songs of Freedom will dedicate a portion of their earnings (determined by the artist) to reparations funds which contribute to decolonization projects. The artist can specify which reparations funds they would like to contribute to and may even specify which particular projects they would like to fund by looking in the online Indices. The artists will also use their platform to promote Iya for LandCulture and Resistance and its branches, such as Moyo Wa Africa. Songs of Freedom will represent musicians, dancers, healers, teachers, writers, visual artists, actors, film-makers, directors and anyone who works creatively to support the work of decolonization. In exchange, Songs of Freedom will help artists to connect to one another and to find the space, resources and the expertise needed for the creation of their work, as well as organizing venues, events and gigs and assisting in the distribution and promotion of the artists and their work.
