Episode description
Welcome to the Africa of One’s and Zeros, where the Post African Futures exhibition curated by Tegan Bristow challenges conventional notions of future and innovation. In our inaugural episode, we delve into Bristow’s exploration of digital art, Afrofuturism, and the cultural dynamics underpinning this groundbreaking exhibition. Bristow invites us to reconsider the role of technology not just as a tool for progress, but as a critical lens through which to critique and transform current social and cultural landscapes.
Post African Futures posits technology as a socio-cultural agent, leveraging digital mediums to unpack histories, confront contemporary issues, and reimagine possible futures. The exhibition spans various forms of artistic expression, from online artworks to installations, performances, and video screenings, each piece contributing to a collective narrative that challenges established narratives and envisions alternative realities.
At the heart of Post African Futures is curator Tegan Bristow’s meticulous research into technology-driven art across Africa. Her curation aims to disrupt conventional perceptions of Afrofuturism, showcasing works that defy categorization and expand the horizons of artistic practice on the continent. By inviting artists to explore and critique existing systems and structures, the Goodman Gallery underscores its commitment to fostering innovation and dialogue within the commercial art industry, providing a platform for provocative and boundary-pushing creations.
