Tate Modern across the board
The first event of the series Across the board features the performances of artists Otobong Nkanga and Nástio Mosquito in the Tate Modern’s Tanks. Both artists have been invited to address aspects of cultural identity, its nuances and pragmatisms within the institutional framework provided by Tate Collection.
Across the board: Politics of Representation is the first part in a two-year extended project supported by Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. The project invites local and international audiences to engage with artists, curators and scholars, exploring current cultural and artistic production in Africa, through a series of events. Presenting various narratives of art making and knowledge production, contributors will address questions around the status of contemporary African art as a field of cultural production. Across the board will take place in London (United Kingdom), Accra (Ghana), Douala (Cameroon), and Lagos (Nigeria) and will raise questions on politics of representation, institution building, public space/public sphere, and interdisciplinary practices.
