Bernardo Guiamba (Pak Ndjamena)

Bernardo Guiamba (Pak Ndjamena) is a multifaceted artist that encompasses multiple crafts including being a dancer, choreographer, cultural promoter, musician and actor. He does not see art in a linear but collaborative way having during his career collaborated with artists of various artistic genres and coming from multiple geographies. Even so, Pak does not consider himself fluent in any language nor belonging to a geographical territory dissociated from art. Despite being proud of his African roots he considers himself a world citizen and views art as a common language that enables one to communicate with counterparts from any place in the world. As a result of this vision Pak has travelled to more than 10 countries to exhibit his art in its various forms. With contemporary dance as the most prevalent art in his artistic career, Pak choreographed and performed more than 20 pieces and was the winner of the Mozal Arts & Culture Award 2019 in the dance category in Maputo, Mozambique.

Bernardo Guiamba (Pak Ndjamena)

Created in partnership with Light Moves Festival, Pak Ndjamena’s In-Box screened as part of the Short Films 3: Across Lands programme.

The dancing body reflects memories of the past and present, in search of human resilience. Contexts and texts are juxtaposed; a message of evocation to hope! Crossing borders makes us think of each space the body is present in; the shapes that each space forms, the structures, light and colours, land, sea, roads, houses, strips, clothes, and other objects are the different borders that cross in everyday life.
