Where do we go from here? : On the haunting whispers of Afro-surrealism

19/10/2024 13:00 - 18:00, Mjellby Art Museum, Halmstad

Please join us for the public programme,“Where do we go from here?”: On the haunting whispers of Afro-surrealism, curated by Tawanda Appiah. This event accompanies the exhibition Dreams and Visions by the Sea, which features works by Ingela Ihrman and Muhammad Ali.

Using Afro-Surrealism as a site of the mythical, uncanny, and ancestral, this programme embraces the movement’s subversion and disobedience in challenging the absurdities hurled at Black life. The afternoon gathering will unfold through a herbal tea invocation, a screening of the movie Black Girl directed by Ousmane Sembène, an artist talk and a sonic performance.

In conjunction with the exhibition Dreams and Visions by the Sea at Mjellby Art Museum and different locations in Halmstad, Art Inside Out has invited additional artists and curators to a participate in series of programs exploring the legacy and underlying ideas of surrealism. In artist presentations, performances and participatory works, the artists form dialogues with Mjellby Art Museum in ways that allow for clashes as well as new perspectives and encounters to emerge.
