‘Matam Dream’ is a song about being in a dream. A dream about my identity, that I feel is multiple. I wanted to understand it, I wanted to reclaim this culture that is mine even if I haven’t fully been raised in.  

After finding a tape, a recording of a family conversation happenning in the 80s, I started to ask questionsand looking for answers. Then a journey has begun.
I’ve created images and sounds expressing questions related to the diaspora and family relationships.
