Sara Serpa was awarded with a New Music USA Grant to record her project Recognition, an interdisciplinary project,  in which music and image highlighted with texts by revolutionary Amílcar Cabral, invite the viewer/ listener to reflect on history in a non-literal way.  

Serpa produced Recognition  using Super 8 footage filmed by my grandfather, in Angola and Portugal in the 60’s, by then a fascist and colonizer regime. She also composed the music for the film and invited the amazing Zeena Parkins (harp), Mark Turner (tenor sax) and David Virelles(piano) to perform it.
