Gwoka: Beauty on the Shoulders of pain by Clara Zimban explores Gwoka, the soul of Guadeloupean identity—born from the pain of enslavement and transformed into an enduring act of resistance. Through the legacy of legendary drummer Vélo, she unveils how Gwoka, with its raw energy and communal spirit, challenges Western ideals of art and beauty.
