Cartography: A Poem of Black Geographies

Join us on Wednesday May 8th at Kamau Studios for Cartography: A Poem of Black Geographies. This sharing will explore the ways in which artists are archeological imaginaries redrawing the cartographic lines that run between Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas. It thinks through the waterways that sit between these geographies as a space positioned as the place of the unthought.  This exploration will be guided by curator Khanyisile Mbongwa in conversation with artists Sethembile Msezane and Adama Delphine Fawundu. Hosted by Kamau Studios.
