Written as a nomination, Mohaiemen’s statement reads Invisible Borders from the outside: he encounters the project in Dhaka in February 2020, at the installation of the Trans-Bangladeshi newspaper, weeks before the borders close. From there he argues for what a Trans-African organisation means against the incentive structures of contemporary art, and against a moment when movement itself had stopped.
“A dream of open borders—through journeys, stories, and images, between African and Asian nations—stands in contrast to the nightmares that have gripped our lives.”
Naeem Mohaiemen
