Frontlines
The idea was simple.
To
make a Chaotic Front party happen.
Poetic Terrorism. Occult Assault on mediocrity and laziness. Creative Chaos.
We’d meet up, make something special.
I
envisioned a hypersigil, as Ashley would put it. A large scale spell that involved
ritual and/or symbols. I liked the idea of people gathering for a creative
engagement. Not necessarily drunk to the hilt and bumbling incoherent
nothings. At this party that I’d host, we’d birth, not kill.
As time went on, ideas would surface, and it soon became
clear that the will and influence of the Chaotic Front spread wider than
expected. Within days we’d settled on a working date. Events that were awaiting
activation now had a channel. I do not want it forgotten that the spaces that
me and my friends frequent are in-city Temporary Autonomous Zones. Anarchy is
about shaping your future. And now, 2 days before the happening of a vision
formulated only months ago, but finally
given fly, we have it. AWEH! KZNSA somehow found their way into the business of
enabling local Anarchists to paint, perform and grow their own zones. We’re
happy to see the Artists of Durban showing face.
The traffic at the Green Camp Gallery has increased. That
space has shown its self to be an attractive gem to those who seek to shape the
future rather than just wait for it. uXolani Hlongwa, the Director and Owner of
the Green Camp Gallery, is showing the city how to reclaim and re-invigorate.
Short man. Long vision. So we’d
discussed making things happen there since last year. He’d been running in elliptical
orbits trying to secure the space that would help him shape the future.I liked
his vision and as the months went by, his plans and works came together.
And one day, with one Facebook post, we’d somehow ended up
with a Dub DJ from Cyprus/London and Poets from the highest echelon of South
African entertainment, waiting to bless the space. The space is going to blow
minds open, I tell you. When you see the hypersigil as it is formed, activated and
given room to take, you’ll know. Magick isn’t far from you.
The Chaotic Front is pleased to have friends such as the
Green Camp and AWEH! KZNSA. The work of building and sustaining Creativity is
daunting. We can handle it, though.
Check out the links below for all info. I shall be there. Yes. It's the same event. Much is happening. Many heads are joined. It is many in one. The phalanx of Creatives.
If you read this blog post, tell me the words: "Information, not decisions." when we meet. I'll have a gift for you.

Funny, isn't it, that we never made it to Cool Runnings. Maybe next time...
ReplyDeleteEvery happening has a reason, the Green Camp might have needed this more than Cool Runnings, You might have needed some misdirection to be redirected. :-)
