Singing my enemies' song

TEDxYouth@Oslo
• February 2019
Irene Kinunda Afriyie performed a song together with the ensemble Fargespill at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2018 to honour laureate Denis Mukwege. The performance was about Irene's story of reconciliation. She sang the enemy's song, in the language of the men who killed her father. How was Irene's journey to peace? Her message in this talk is "no matter the conflict, we don't have to react in line with our instincts, with aggression, hatred and vengeance".
