Flipping Fragments argues that Architecture existed as just a vessel and that space is created by the fragments of our memories. By focusing on the documented memories of sounds, the project manifest a new space by sampling fragments of music and sounds to create a piece of architecture that existed outside the constraints of real estate and the built environment.

That sound piece, DG6V mixtape, is collection of tracks made from combining various performances by South African jazz musician Abdullah Ibrahim in the legendary Sweet Basil jazz club, and recordings by Ian Bruce Huntley of various African American soldiers performing in the Zambezi restaurant when visiting Cape Town on deployment.

Unfortunately neither one of these places exist anymore with Sweet Basil falling victim to Manhattan real estate and Zambezi’s located in District 6, a vibrant area was violently destroyed by the Group Areas Act during apartheid in Cape Town South Africa.

Flipping Fragments is a tribute to the spaces that have fostered liberation through music that no longer exists. A space that can never be relocated, shut down or destroyed. A space that aims to provoke liberation to all who experience it.
