Mushiva Mushiva
Biography
Mushiva is a Berlin-based Namibian street poet, rapper and technologist. One third of the award-winning hip-hop poetry group Black Vulcanite and professionally trained as a computer scientist, Mushiva uses these two experiences to access and project Afro-Accelerationist visions: the dangerous idea that suggests that a deep, rapid, and radical adoption of technology by African people can counteract the adverse effects of racial capitalism.
His latest work, Turbo Summation, brings these ideas to bear. Turbo Summation features a manifesto, synth inspired hip-hop album, music film, and home-made wearable devices that function as speculative objects for an alternate present.
