What does victory actually mean seventy-five years after the Second World War ended?
In short: Chanje Kunda explores the complex legacy of the Second World War through a spoken word performance. Commissioned by the Imperial War Museums, this work challenges traditional narratives of victory and invites a modern audience to reconsider the historical significance of 1945.
As part of the Victory 75 project, the Imperial War Museums commissioned various contemporary artists to create new responses to the end of the Second World War. Chanje Kunda is one of these artists, using spoken word to interrogate the concept of victory.
These artistic interpretations, which include music and poetry, aim to bridge the gap between historical events and contemporary understanding. By reinterpreting these pivotal moments, the project encourages viewers to look beyond standard historical accounts and engage with the multifaceted nature of wartime victory.
