Ruzza Wazzi - "Stitch Me Up" Video

The Wits City Institute will host a screening of Ruzzi Wazzi's, "Stitch Me Up" video.

Ruzza Wazzi’s personal journey and quest evokes the deep-seated yearning for personal liberation and perspective which various migrants are confronted with.

It is trying to depict what it is like to live as a hybrid, in a constant state of being somewhere but not wanting to be there, of being physically in a place but mentally and spiritually elsewhere, of facing daily struggles but still hoping for something better, of being saddled with an identity which derives not from who you are but from where you come from and where you currently reside, and of struggling to find the tools and abilities to make sense of it all.

By exploring Stitch Me Up, through which Wazzi tries to transcended his daily life it also becomes an opportunity to marvel at how one can make a home in what is considered to be a transitional space within the city, how people find peace in harsh circumstances and how the tenacity to dream persists, even where no tangible pathways to liberation are present. This film screening is hosted by the Wits City Institute.
