Thami Mnyele Foundation fellow Zanele Muholi will participate in "Dig Where You Stand”, a series of travelling exhibitions from coast to coast offering a paradigm shift by introducing a new methodology of engaging with capital both in the art world and the broader economy on the African continent.
Dig Where You Stand is presented by African Artists' Foundation in collaboration with the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA Tamale), the Cercle d'Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise - CATPC and Mondriaan Fonds. The exhibition envisions the strategies of liberation from the ongoing extractive processes of economy in and outside the art world. The exhibition not only brings together examples of regenerative artistic practices but also acts as a regenerative agent in itself –in each location leaving behind a toolkit for jumpstarting regenerative economic processes.
Dig Where You Stand is curated by Azu Nwagbogu and is officially launching on the 2nd of September, 2022, with its first exhibition at SCCA Tamale in the presence of CATPC members Matthieu Kasiama and Cedart Tamasala. The exhibitions runs from 2 September to 9 October 2022.
