ReEncounters - 'Art, Memory and Materiality Converge to Redefine Space’
Curated by Afrinova's Keabetswe Boccomino, the exhibition celebrates 10 years of the Atelier Mondial international Exchange program at Dreispitz, Switzerland.
The exhibition concept invites us to consider how we occupy space and the meaning derived from engaging with multifaceted spectrums of artistic and embodied knowledge. By reflecting on their encounters with the AT exchange program, artists showcase how they connect with memory, materiality and community through art.
“Our interactions with different environments impact how we use space, engage with materials, and approach the creative process. Societies, cultural practices, and knowledge systems are constantly evolving, reshaping how we perceive the world and how artistic knowledge circulates.” - Keabetswe Boccomino
The exhibition deconstructs established narratives and imagines new possibilities, inviting viewers to reflect on how memories of people and places are imprinted in our collective consciousness.
“How you inhabit a space is also how you construct it” - Bell Hooks
Exhibiting Artists: Alexandre Kyungu, Sara Gassmann, Juanita Delgado, Simone Etter, Irene Piloya, Alexandre Amir Khan, Hannah Kindler, Deirdre O'Leary, Saba Niknam, Kihako Narisawa.
