 * //consciousness on the 30th Anniversary of the June 16 youth uprising//**

The Liquid Tounge collective – lead by prominent local spoken word poet and entertainer, Flo - will be hosting Black Reflection as part of their regular Tuesday night sessions at Newtown's Horror Cafe.

Black Reflection is the official launch of a Prophecy Line production that will be travelling to this year's Grahamstown Festival. The work is an extension of local poet Prophet's JD's evolutionary stage show, //The Journey, Beneath the Winds of Changes// and offers a reflection on 30 years of black consciousness – written from the many perspectives of average young South Africans.“The show examines economic and racial identities, fashion, sexual identity, religion and educational identities,” says Prophet JD. “In other words, it looks at the major intellectual challenges facing young South Africans today, three decades after June 16. It asks the question many young South Africans are currently asking: Where does black consciousness go to now?”

The Black Reflections production features notable young musicians - Meropa and Ma Barang - who accompany Prophet JD and poetess Balisa in their half hour performance.

Guest poets and performers on the night include the ever-venerable Flo, Andrew Miller, Kwaz and Valentine.
