Zama Dube w/ Kwabbie & Jonathan Aubrie Lewis – The Witch's Flight: Black Futures in Sound & Cinema
Friday February 20, 2026
10:00 PM to 12:00 AM

The Witch’s Flight is guided by the question; “What does freedom SOUND like?” Taking heed to this, amapiano becomes a portal and a sonic guide to diverse freedom dreams. The Witch’s Flight is the quest for a Black feminist sensibility structured in a series of sonic experimentations that center South Africa and the larger African diaspora.
This Friday I have a Black History Month special where I'll be in conversation with musical artist, and screenwriter; Kwabbie and award-winning filmmaker; Jonathan Aubrie Lewis.
On this episode, we explore Black creative practice across sound and screen—tracing how music, film, and storytelling operate as sites of memory, resistance, and imagination. From creative process to political commitment, this conversation reflects on what it means to make work in dialogue with Black histories while shaping bold, liberated futures.
Kwabbie (Kelvin “Kwabbie” Oppong) is a Los Angeles–based actor, musical artist, and screenwriter. A first-generation Ghanaian American raised in the Bronx, his creative perspective is shaped by diaspora, performance, and selfhood.
Jonathan Aubrie Lewis is an award-winning filmmaker who has been a professional director and writer for the past ten years.
