Curator’s talk by Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung

Date

Time
7:00 pm

Para Site is pleased to present a talk by Cameroonian curator and biotechnologist, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, who is currently taking part in Para Site’s International Art Residency Programme. He is the founder and artistic director of SAVVY Contemporary Berlin, one of the most thriving and active spaces in Berlin. SAVVY Contemporary is a performative space, and a discursive platform, that turns hospitality into a cultural-political issue.

In addition to SAVVY Contemporary, Ndikung is also editor-in-chief of SAVVY, a journal of critical texts on contemporary African art; curator-at-large for Documenta 14; and guest curator of the 2018 Dak’Art Biennale in Senegal. Recent curatorial projects include Every Time A Ear di Soun — a documenta 14 Radio Program, SAVVY Contemporary, 2017; The Conundrum of Imagination, Leopold Museum Vienna/ Wienerfestwochen, 2017; An Age of our Own Making in Holbæk, MCA Roskilde and Kunsthal Charlottenborg Copenhagen, 2016-17; Unlearning the Given: Exercises in Demodernity and Decoloniality, SAVVY Contemporary, 2016; The Incantation of the Disquieting Muse, SAVVY Contemporary, 2016. He is currently guest professor in curatorial studies at the Städelschule Frankfurt.
