FROM THE VOID CAME GIFTS OF THE COSMOS

Curatorial presentation of the 35th Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts

This Wednesday at Forough Farrokhzad Garden: FROM THE VOID CAME GIFTS OF THE COSMOS 💭

Renowned artist Ibrahim Mahama, this year artistic director of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, and four members of the curatorial team: Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh (curator and critic based in Kumasi), Alicia Knock (curator at the Centre Pompidou), Beya Othmani (independent curator and member of Archive Books), and Inga Lace (curator at the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art), present the upcoming edition of the biennale, FROM THE VOID CAME GIFTS OF THE COSMOS.

Mahama outlines the basic idea of the biennale and explains where the premises of the exhibition come from. Ohene-Ayeh will discuss the pedagogical angle, while Alicia Knock and Inga Lace focus on the history of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Founded in 1961 in Belgrade, NAM is a forum of 120 countries that were not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. After the United Nations, it is the largest grouping of states worldwide.

The guests engage in conversation with HKW’s director and chief curator Prof Dr Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and senior curator (Peformative Practices) Marie Helene Pereira.
