States of Becoming

Una muestra reúne obras de artistas africanos que han vivido en los Estados Unidos.

States of Becoming examina las fuerzas dinámicas de traslado, reinserción y asimilación que dan forma a las prácticas artísticas de un grupo de 17 artistas africanos contemporáneos que han vivido y trabajado en los Estados Unidos. El concepto de la exhibición surgió de la experiencia que vivió el curador Fitsum Shebeshe después de migrar de Addis Ababa, Etiopía, a Baltimore, y del subsecuente conocimiento sobre el peso de la asimilación cultural. “States of Becoming nació de mi propio proceso de traslado a los Estados Unidos en 2016”, dice Shebeshe. “Esta exhibición permite una mayor comprensión no sólo de mis propias experiencias sino también de las de los artistas que participan. Analizando los aspectos singulares y los puntos en común con las comunidades locales y globales del Africa Center, podemos reimaginar juntos el modo en que la identidad se forma y se reforma sin cesar”.

Artistas: Gabriel C. Amadi-Emina, Kearra Amaya Gopee, Kibrom Araya, Nadia Ayari, Vamba Bility, Elshafei Dafalla, Masimba Hwati, Chido Johnson, Miatta Kawinzi, Dora King, Helina Metaferia, Nontsikelelo Mutiti, Yvonne Osei, Kern Samuel, Amare Selfu, Tariku Shiferaw, y Yacine Tilala Fall.
