Everything is Connected: African Artists & Curators in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale - Aindrea Emelife in conversation with Folasade Ologundudu
On this episode I’m joined by Aindrea Emelife. Aindrea Emelife is a Nigerian-British curator and art historian specializing in modern and contemporary art, with a focus on questions around colonial and decolonial histories in Africa, transnationalism and the politics of representation. Aindrea is currently Curator, Modern and Contemporary at MOWAA (Museum of West African Art,). She is also the curator of the Nigeria Pavilion at this year's 60th edition of the Venice Biennale.
This exclusive season of Everything is Connected: African Artists in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale is sponsored by The Africa Institute, Global Studies University.
The Africa Institute, Global Studies University, is an interdisciplinary academic research institute dedicated to the study, research and documentation of Africa, its people, and its cultures; its complex past, present and future; and its manifold connections with the wider world. The Institute is conceived as a research-based think-tank, and a postgraduate studies institution (offering both master’s and Ph.D. programs), which aims to train a new generation of critical thinkers in African and African diaspora studies. The institute programs include international symposia and conferences, teaching of African languages and translation programs, active publishing of books and periodicals, visual art exhibitions and artist commissions, film and performance series, and community classes and outreach events.
Light Work is a creative media platform rooted at the intersection of art, education, and culture highlighting the work of emerging, mid-career, and established artists from diverse communities and the art professionals who seek to amplify their achievements and contributions to society.
