Using a variety of methodologies, materials, and techniques, the works of Otobong Nkanga (Kano, Nigeria, 1974) address urgent issues related to the ecological crisis and the environment, the exploitation of resources and sustainability, also delving deep into the consequences of colonialism and its repercussions on the social fabric. In addition to unpublished poems by the artist, this book includes new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Marcella Beccaria, and an interview with the artist by E\u0301ric Mangion. The catalogue documents the two exhibitions with entries on all the artworks and installation views. It also includes a scholarly chronology covering the artist\u2019s exhibition history from her debut in 1995 up to the present. The anthology contains seminal essays by Anne Barlow, Okwui Enwezor, Natasha Ginwala, Emanuele Guidi, Nav Haq, M. Neelika Jayawardane, Mwenya B. Kabwe, Omar Kholeif, Yvette Mutumba, Bonaventure Ndikung, Philippe Pirotte, Stephanie Rosenthal, Je\u0301ro\u0302me Sans, Bisi Silva, Danielle Tilkin, and Helen Welford.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation is in English.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-134471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-1536x1065.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-2048x1420.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Marcella-Beccaria-_-Foto-Andrea-Guermani-600x416.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Marcella Beccaria<br \/>\n<\/strong>Photo Andrea Guermani Courtesy Castello di Rivoli Museo d\u2019Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli-Torino<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-134469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Otobong-Nkanga_-Foto-Sebastiano-Pellion-di-Persano-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Otobong Nkanga<br \/>\n<\/strong>Photo Sebastiano Pellion di Persano<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November\u00a0 3, 6 pm Book Corner On the occasion of Artissima, Marcella Beccaria will present the catalog published on the occasion of Nkanga\u2019s solo exhibitions Of Cords Curling around Mountains [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134962,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[2345,2423],"class_list":["post-134475","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-conferenza-en","tribe_events_cat-dipartimento-curatoriale-en","cat_conferenza-en","cat_dipartimento-curatoriale-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
