When Rain Clouds Gather (2024)

Overview

In a fictional situation, three artist friends debate how to spend one of their few remaining Saturday nights in New York. Interpreted by artist and documentary filmmaker Maliyamungu Gift Muhande, artist and researcher Akeema-Zane, and Christian Nyampeta, their dialogue is centered around life’s little annoyances in the face of a world ablaze with unjust wars and cruel exterminations. Through improvisation and collaboration with theater maker and director Adrian Alea, their conversation draws from the works and ideas of Black and African writers and film makers who reflected on exile, social life, and urgent cultural action in the society of their time.
