About this programme item
African-American artist Cauleen Smith's first major presentation on the African continent, this exhibition takes the form of a survey that unfolds through atmospheric installations, offering visitors a layered sensory experience. Short films and videos interact with drawings, sculptural objects, colourful textile banners, and sound in an expansive installation that meditates on the artist's ongoing engagement with Black experimental cinema, Afrocentric aesthetics, Black feminism, and the emancipatory potential of the utopian and what she calls "...the everyday possibilities of the imagination."
