夜校:和瓦扎一起学习

2024.04.24 星期三 19:00

活动地点

北京市朝阳区798艺术区706北一街MACA美凯龙艺术中心

演讲者:菲扎·卡英古·拉马扎尼 & 波迪希·通巴·马孔加

展览开幕、艺博会、双年展......我们能否把目光转向具有行动性的实践?能否将视野扩展至西欧、北美之外?在过去的十多年里,位于刚果(金)卢本巴希的瓦扎艺术中心(Centre d’art Waza)如何建立起他们的艺术组织?他们如何看待艺术史?被欧美“发掘”的艺术家与他们的艺术生态有何关系?刚果(金)社会以及当地知识分子如何与这些艺术实践互动?他们如何获得项目资金?他们如何认知“艺术”、以及“艺术”与本土社会的关系?他们又面临着怎样的问题与机遇?

MACA美凯龙艺术中心邀请来自瓦扎艺术中心的菲扎·卡英古·拉马扎尼与波迪希·通巴·马孔加来到北京,与我们分享他们的行动、思考与感受。与此同时,他们的工作也在回应一个迫在眉睫的全球性问题:我们如何共同生活?我们还将在活动中放映瓦扎艺术中心于第十五届卡塞尔文献展呈现的纪录短片《Lwanzo Lwa Mikuba的故事》。

本次活动由MACA美凯龙艺术中心与上海纽约大学当代艺术中心、广东时代美术馆共同协作举办。
