Opening: April 22, 2023

Venue: Village Market – Rooftop

Time: 1-7 PM

Until: May 8, 2023

About

Traceback presents works that unravel truths about African culture, nature, and rural-urban societies majorly inspired by East Africa in relation to human psychology subtly intertwined with the artists’ culturally rich backgrounds and perspectives. The exhibition also expounds generally on social issues including migration (in an African context) and their impact on our behavior and culture.
Like computing, tracing back to your roots can be a continuous and sometimes uncomfortable process. Still, it is as vital as progression, especially because culture shock or loss is inevitable in the process of embracing modernization. Although with the two artists’ opinions, these twists and turns shape our path and journey to finding our true selves.

About 

A series of 5 short films by filmmakers from Morocco, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Kenya put together by Claire Diao, the French-Burkinabé journalist and film critic.

How can Africa project itself into the future? Can it tell its own stories in more experimental, offbeat ways than the humanitarian imagery and/or cinematic images of hardship and suffering?
 
Rwandan artist Kantarama Gahigiri imagines the return to earth of a cosmonaut who stayed in space for 30 years. With humor, Kenyan Jim Chuchu examines the meteoric rise of a young contemporary artist. Between Juju and science fiction, Nigerian CJ Obasi films the adventures of three witches.  So what if the goats die is an essay on knowledge or rather on ignorance by Moroccan, Sophia Alaoui. The film “Zombie” is a journey between hope and dystopia in a hallucinated Kinhsasa by the Congolese/Belgian singer Baloji.

2017/2018/2019 | 1h25min

Screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Kenyan filmmaker, Jim Chuchu.
