Radio Arty mit Dr. Bonaventure Ndikung

Diese Woche ist Dr. Bonaventure Ndikung Gast bei Radio Arty – der Kurator erzählt über den von ihm geleiteten Kunstraum Savvy Contemporary und das aktuelle Projekt GIVING CONTOURS TO SHADOWS:

Giving Contours To Shadows takes its cue from the Glissantian conception that History cannot be left in the hands of historians only. In that sense, the project explores the ways in which artists, curators and thinkers relate to their own epoch, to times past and to the drawing of prospective trajectories, thus weaving alternatives into existing narratives: from embodiment practices to the pre-writing of History.

Artists: Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc (GF), Jelili Atiku (NG), Fayçal Baghriche (DZ), Neïl Beloufa (FR/DZ), Halida Boughriet (DZ), Marcio Carvalho (PT), Virginia Chihota (ZW), Chimurenga Lab (ZA), Em’kal Eyongakpa (CAM), Mounir Fatmi (MA), Badr el Hammami & Fadma Kaddouri (MA), Adelita Husni-Bey (IT/LYB), Wanuri Kahiu (KE), Bouchra Khalili (MA), Kiluanji Kia Henda (ANG), Kapwani Kiwanga (CA/TZ), Donna Kukama (ZA), Ato Malinda (KE), Ingrid Mwangi/Robert Hutter (DE/KE), Paulo Nazareth (BR), Otobong Nkanga (NG), Ahmet Ögüt (TR), Lerato Shadi (ZA), Alexandre Singh (FR/USA), Hank Willis Thomas (USA), Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa (UK). Giving Contours To Shadows is a project by SAVVY Contemporary and Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), Maxim Gorki Theater, Gemäldegalerie Berlin, Centre for Contemporary Art of East Africa (CCAEA, Nairobi, Kenya), Ke?r Thiossane (Dakar, Senegal), 5th Marrakech Biennale Satellite (Marrakech, Morocco), Video Art Network (VAN Lagos, Nigeria) and Parking Gallery/ VANSA (Johannesburg, South Africa).
