我们
We don't need more objects, we need more connections.
We must constantly question the narratives we inherit and seek out the stories that have been left untold.
We need less spectacle and more substance in contemporary art.
We must challenge the hierarchies of the art world constantly.
We must resist the temptation to make African art merely illustrative of theory.
To be African is to be modern - this is the central paradox we must embrace.
The future we want must be invented. Otherwise we will get one which we don't want.
We need creativity to change society.
The boundaries between species are more porous than we think.
We are part of a much larger community of living beings.
The future is not something we enter; it's something we create.
We need to develop a new sensitivity to the non-human.
The world is not a problem to be solved; it's a living being to which we belong.
The more extreme the art, the more it reveals about us.
Art allows us to stare death in the face and not turn away.
Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we're living.
Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating.
We must learn to listen to what materials want to say.
We are all archives of our own existence.
Violence is not just physical; it's embedded in our systems and structures.
