Invisible Borders Trans-African Project at Unseen Art Fair Amsterdam
If you are in Amsterdam during 16-25 September 2016, drop by the Unseen Photo Festival and Art Fair an international photography fair and festival based in Amsterdam bringing together leading figures within the Arts and Culture industry as well as encouraging the exchange of artistic expression, dialogue and ideas.
For the 5th edition of the Unseen Art Fair, Invisible Borders proposes an installation which takes into cognisance the peripatetic nature of the project, and the fact of employing body and presence in the remapping of preexisting cartographies. This installation will combine mostly text and images to create a mosaic collage-like rendition of experiences of border crossings. Images from selected editions of the road trips as well as excerpts of writings from writer-participants will be presented as composites, and as fragments of experiences – with as much nonlinearity as
possible.
In addition to the installation, Invisible Borders Founder and Artistic Director Emeka Okereke will be participating in the round table discussion ‘Platforms In Africa’, exploring the birth of the various independent contemporary art platforms throughout Africa, that have emerged in the recent years.
