Abstract or Description: | A two-year project, Across the board is an organic and experimental platform, featuring emerging artists and exploring recent artistic practices in Africa. It consists of a series of events inviting local and international audiences to engage with artists, curators and scholars to look into current cultural and artistic production in Africa. Presenting various narratives of art making and knowledge production, contributors address questions around the status of contemporary African art as a field of cultural production. Across the board takes place across four cities, 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. These events alternatively include performances, screening programmes and artistic interventions in the public space, as well as artists’ presentations and talks. It is also a pioneering and challenging approach to cultural partnership that complements Tate’s collecting activities, developing further the conceptual framework proposed by Tate’s approach to Africa, looking at theoretical aspects and cultural – historical and contemporary – ‘non-collectable’ material. |
