DHAKA ART SUMMIT 2018
A beast, a god and a line is woven by connections and circulations of ideas across a geography with Bengal at its core. Commonly called Asia-Pacific, it could also be defined by several other definitions, which the exhibition will explore and untangle. Overlapping and sometimes conflicting or barely discernible beneath the strident layers of contemporaneity and the modern waves of destruction, these worlds are still the pillars of a region that is going through a process of replacing its colonial cartographic coordinates, a process this exhibition proudly serves.
Of Decolonize This at the Karachi Biennale 2017, Dominique Malaquais writes: “[The thematic is based on] a series of short excerpts from texts that move us, we propose a voyage through the practice of five artists changing the face of contemporary reflection on (post)colonialism, (neo)coloniality and the quest for a decolonial future:
Deep Memory may in part investigate colonial traces, but most of all it wants to introduce a number of powerful artistic visions in a contemporary arts museum that is seeking relevance in a conversation that is transnational – in a way that we have now come to live an existence that is hugely dependent on a global conversation, facing challenges such as increasing gaps between rich and poor and fights over resources that send people on the move.
Exhibition co-curated by Joanna Sandell and Breeze Yoko

Exposition collective en deux volets à partir de la collection du FRAC Réunion, consacrée au portrait et à l'autoportrait.
The African Artists for Development endowment fund has organized an exhibition, open to the pub- lic, at the Théâtre National de Chaillot, November 4-24, 2015, prior to COP21. This initiative is a world first in more ways than one. For the first time in the history of contemporary art, 54 world-renowned artists, one for each coun- try on the great African continent, will present a work inspired by a single theme: “The Illuminated Africa.”
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Crafts in Mali and the Institut français are pleased to announce the 10th Bamako Encounters, African Biennale of Photography Telling Time, which explores the complex and multifaceted relationship between images and time. Inspired by both Mali’s rich cultural traditions of storytelling and the nation’s recent political upheavals, the forthcoming edition questions the methods by which artists narrate real and imagined experiences through different economies of time. In chronicling how artists address the unpredictable and consequential relationship between political action, social experience, and aesthetic experience, Telling Time offers a multiplicity of perspectives from which to assess the biennale’s enduring role as an international convener of photographic practices in Africa.
