Raw Material Company - Center for art, knowledge and society, Dakar
Performance, presentations, discussion
The Dutch Art Institute (DAI) connects art students to practitioners at the forefront of praxis worldwide. By initiating explorative associations DAI's research trips aim to promote a better understanding of the (art) world in transition. From May 3 until May 16, during the Biennale and Dakar OFF events, the DAI teams up with colleagues in and around Dakar. Findings will be shared during a public 'class' on May 14, organized in collaboration with Raw Material Company, center for art, knowledge, and society that works to foster appreciation and growth of African artistic and intellectual creativity. Grant Watson will moderate the discussion around three projects: 'Negotiating Equity' (curated and organized by Renee Ridgway and n.e.w.s.) it looks at 'curation as artistic practice' in regard to local contexts, in-situ installations, and digital technologies. A performance project tutored by Ian White in collaboration with Emma Hedditch and Jimmy Robert, curated by If I Can't Dance I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution and coordinated by Tanja Baudoin. Re-reading Public Images: the participants will question images that appear in the urban context and 're-read' them regarding their role in public life, politics, and common identities.
