Statement by Shaheen
Merali
"To show art ( as a language)
in a different way by itself without the context of a geography
and a predefined history is in itself a hard task. To show
Africa without the parameters of past and present perceptions
including it as a defining location of slavery is even a harder
task. These permanent imprints that has created strangers
and differences, of institutional dehumanisation and destabilised
territories- are vital ways to understand modernity and modernism.
If it wasn't for the timidity of institutions and curators
maybe we could discuss many situations with vigor and agitation."
