Abstract or Description

In conversation with the exhibitions not all realisms at the Smart Museum of Art, The Otolith Group's post-cinematic collage The Nucleus of the Great Union reimagines the digital afterlives of novelist Richard Wright’s photographs as he traveled throughout the Gold Coast where he witnessed Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party, West Africa’s first mass socialist party, as it campaigned for independence from British rule.

Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar, not all realisms curator Leslie M. Wilson, and UChicago faculty Adom Getachew and Natacha Nsabimana will be in conversation about the significance of the photograph in post-colonial West Africa and the ways in which The Nucleus of the Great Union invites us to consider Wright’s practice anew.
