CVF Maskani project

“What is the street culture? And what is the relation between street culture and public space?
How Ukoo Flani hip hop music group can introduce us the public space and the urban culture of Mombasa ?
Mombasa is the city where they grow up, they meet and they started to rap………
What can happen in two weeks if the Ukoo Flani group would started to really think about public space as a new important topic to speak about trough their songs and their performances?
The output of our project is something between a live performance and a film documentary: discover in two weeks the public space dimension of Mombasa city trough the eyes of Ukoo Flani.

This is the link to the video trailer CVF produced with the hip hop group of Ukoo Flani during the Urban Wasanii International Workshop 2008 http://www.youtube.com/user/mascaniCVF

While the music video will released in occasion of african maximalism, the Maskani project is still going on and CVF is looking for founders to edit the final version of the whole documentary.
