ABOUT EVENT
Curator Malaika Nabila will guide you through the new temporary exhibition „Afrotopias”. As the curatorial team says, this exhibition was created out of the need to tell „something we still know very little about” – about real, contemporary Africa, a place of many cultures, histories, traditions and communities. The museum gives the floor to African artists, originating and living in Togo, Niger, Mali and Kenya among others, to tell you about their continent from a perspective that we will not learn about in travel magazines or news services.
GUIDE
Malaika Nabila is a visual artist from Togo, author of cultural projects and curator of exhibitions. Among other projects, she is a co-founder of the Togo Yeye project, which aims to create works that empower Togolese youth, document their activities, and support creative communities in Togo and the diaspora. As part of the Blacklines project, she develops traditional West African textile dyeing techniques such as batik, indigo, and bogolan. Nabila’s mission is to protect the locality of traditional textile production while preserving the rich cultural heritage and supporting the economic development of her country. Malaika Nabila has participated in the organization of festivals and residencies in Lomé, Togo, and Lagos, Nigeria.
