Mediations of the Self, African Contemporary in Transformation

The terrain of artistic and intellectual practice in Africa is in rapid change. New spaces, new climates, new languages of negotiations and mediations are arising on the landscape. The age of representation and advocacy of the late eighties through the early 00's is gradually replaced by a new generation of practitioners interested in the power of localities and their environments. This talk/workshop will engage with significant voices in that field to draw a new cartography of production and discourse for Africa.

Koyo Kouoh is the director of Raw Material Company in Dakar.

Framework: Shift In My Thinking - lectures , organized by the DAI and kindly hosted by the MMKA.
