Memoria: Account of another History


  • Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA 5, Parvis Corto Maltese 33800 Bordeaux France (map)

Memoria: Account of another history addresses the idea of a collective memory made up of a myriad of narratives, accounts, questions and experiences scattered in our individual, personal and intimate memories. This collective memory comes to light in this exhibition in the work of artists that remind us of the (re)construction of a common, universal whole, affording us a new perspective on contemporary creation originating from Africa and its diasporas.

The selected works explore painting, textiles, sculpture, video or even performance.
With works by: Dalila Dalléas Bouzar (Algeria/France) - Ndidi Dike (Nigeria) - Enam Gbewonyo (Ghana/UK) - Bouchra Khalili (Morocco/France) - Gosette Lubondo (Democratic Republic of Congo) - Myriam Mihindou (Gabon/France) - Wangechi Mutu (Kenya/USA) - Otobong Nkanga (Nigeria/Belgique) - Josèfa Ntjam (Cameroon/France) - Selly Raby Kane (Senegal) - Na Chainkua Reindorf (Ghana/Usa) - Mary Sibande (South Africa) - Tuli Mekondjo (Namibia) - Georgina Maxim (Zimbabwe)
