Musoni
Musoni is the first episode of an 8-part series based on Busenki Fu-Kiau's writings on Bantu-Kongo cosmology and its cosmogram, the Dikenga dia Kongo. This series, Cognitive Movements, travels through the four ontological landmarks or "moments of the sun" of this cosmogram, the first of which is Musoni (the "unfathomable")' represented in yellow.
This episode was filmed in Brazil, specifically on the coast of the city of Vera Cruz (Itaparica Island, Bahia)' where the Portuguese first arrived in the sixteenth century. Or, as the character asks: what are we made of?
