WE ARE THE WORLD (2006)

RUNTIME

Synopsis

In the piece "We Are The World," the late Cameroonian artist Goddy Leye (1965-2011) juxtaposes individual determination with the grandstanding associated with world peace ideology. The video presents Leye haloed by stars and fruit, as he satirically gives a karaoke-style performance of the 1985 charity song from the work is titled after. “We are saving our own lives," he provocatively sings.
