A pan-africain perspective on contemporary creation : 19 artists from the African continent in a collective exhibition named "Globalisto".
"Globalisto. A Philosophy in Flux" invites inter generational artists who invent new worlds, question the status quo of the current modality, critique power systems, biopolitics and multidimensional exploitation of resources. They are activists, philosophers, change-makers, or storytellers and poets interconnecting Africa and its diasporas. They are from, or live in, Cameroon, Egypt, Gabon, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, but also Europe, the Caribbean, or the USA. They or their ancestors arrive in new spaces carrying their histories, translating their mobilities into liberating dissent and healing. Their experimentations with materials and ideas are made manifest in works as diverse as films and videos, textiles, paintings, installations, but also ceramics, sound, photography, sculpture as well as performances. This exhibition also make reference to the West African art collection at MAMC+ and include documentation, such as the famous "Drum" magazine, which has been published in several African countries since the 1950s.
Curator : Mo Laudi (Ntshepe Tsekere Bopape), artist, researcher at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa.
