The Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos (CCA, Lagos), is pleased to announce “Passengers in Transit”, an exhibition bringing together five Afro-descent female artists from Africa, the Caribbean and the USA, as a Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
The selected artists’ interdisciplinary practices explore the convergence between identity, gender, memory, and place. Navigating between history and fiction, working from and within archives, the artists reflect upon the representation of black bodies within the contemporary world and speculate on possible futures. April Bey, Christa David, Euridice Zaituna Kala, Joana Choumali and Thandiwe Muriu create a conversation around belonging, identity construction and the complexity of cross-cultural existence. The project reflects different perspectives and explores diverse ways of thinking about human subjectivity, language, and foreignness in dialogue with the Biennial’s central theme, Foreigners Everywhere.
