Title Music
The title music was commissioned by Serendipity institute for Black Arts and Heritage for 100 Black Women Who Have Made A Mark and created by NWAKKE.
Kendra Chiagoro-Noel (NWAKKE) is a London-based artist and dancer working with sound, writing, and performance. Through multi-genre songwriting and production, soundscape creation, and improvisation, NWAKKE seeks to craft deep listening experiences that speak to emotional honesty, bodily sensation, and storytelling.
Informed by their African Caribbean heritage and inquiries into health and psychosomatic wellness, their work focuses on making sense of and expressing the pre-verbal, incorporating dance and music spiritualities to hold the complexity and interconnectedness of space, time, land, and body.
Featured in the 485th edition of the seminal music magazine The Wire alongside Malik Nashad Sharpe and Bianca Scout for exploring radical approaches to music and choreography, NWAKKE’s performance credits include Haus der Kunst Munich, Primavera Barcelona, Nottingham Contemporary, Southbank Centre London, Ormside Projects, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Cafe Oto, Yard Theatre, and London Coliseum.
NWAKKE is currently an Artist in Residence at Nonclassical as part of their Emerging Composers Scheme and is a member of the mixed-media art collective ‘life is beautiful.’
