You are cordially invited to the next event in the Contemporary Africa On
Screen programme
A GAZE THROUGH THE LENS OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN PERFORMANCE
This event includes a live performance by Nathalie Mba Bikoro and a series
of films relating to performance, including the premiere of Ato Malinda’s
film, *Fertile,* as well as works by Lerato Shadi and Ingrid Mwangi.
Mba Bikoro is a French-Gabonese interdisciplinary artist based in London
whose practice focuses on performance through body excavation, film and
African vocals. Her work examines issues of human rights and cultural
identity. Malinda is based in Nairobi, Kenya and previously worked in
Europe and North America. Her practice spans performance, video and
painting and she is particularly interested in exploring issues of
identity in relation to African art through a video and performance
practice. The event is followed by a presentation by Mba Bikoro and an
open discussion.
