On the occasion of our exhibition project »Beyond AI: Resistance & Coexistence« in spring 2024 we warmly welcomed the artists Nkhensani Mkhari, Jazmin Morris, Vanessa Amoah Opoku & Linda Dounia Rebeiz at M.Bassy for a public panel discussion. In a private prelude on the evening bevor the opening, we had the one-off chance to record an in-depth-conversation of these leading young artists engaging in new digital technologies from a decolonial and sociopolitical perspective.
Nkhensani Mkhari & Luiza Prado about Art, Food, Language & Resistance
The Talk is moderated by Jumoke Olusanmi. The podcast is part of the accompanying program of the exhibition »Food, Art & Activism: Nourishing Ourselves & Each Other« at M.Bassy Hamburg.
Let’s play. Lass uns spielen. Let us pretend. Let’s invent a set of terms and then let us believe in the terms we’ve invented, shall we? Let’s make these terms and conditions apply, but only providing that they apply here, where we can implement the very logic that birthed it all. Let’s go with the flow; roll in the zeitgeist of play, but let’s not get blasé. Let’s take it all seriously, because play is serious.
The works of artists from Kumasi and Hamburg, joined by a recent chain of events, are presented to you this exhibition.
