FUSION - In Conversation with Oriki Artists
Jessica Antwi-Boasiako,
Kwayie Kuffour, Hakim Onitolo, Harold Offeh |
|
Date:
thursday 4 MAY 2006 Time:
6:30pm Entry:
FREE
Venue:
BCA Gallery, 1 Othello Close, Kennington,
London SE11 4RE |
Overview:
The debate will provide an opportunity to
hear artists from the Oriki exhibition discuss
issues of cultural exchange inherent in their
work and personal experience. All artists
have roots in Africa and were educated in
the west which drives and influences their
work.
The speakers present will provide refreshing
reflections on how to work in the mix of western
and African thought and symbolism, not to
split the ground, but to introduce new understandings
and cultural references. |

& Interiors course at the Royal College
of Art. Using this project as a focus the

architectural problems through processes rather
than built form. It will also explore the
complex issues of cultural hybridisation and

AH-FREE-KA:
COMBATING WHITENESS IN THE BLACK IMAGINATION
Dr. William
(Lez) Henry |
|
Date:
Thursday 13 July 2006 Time:
6:30pm Entry:
FREE
Venue:
BCA Gallery, 1 Othello Close, Kennington,
London SE11 4RE |
| Overview:
A lecture in which Dr. Henry will champion
strategies for practical black consciousness
to empower, uplift and free the Afrikan personality
within UK black communities. Based on ancient
Egyptian teachings around the cosmology of
the Kamites, he will argue that for many Afrikans
the Ka, as ‘life force,’ needs
to be mentally and psychologically nourished.
In order to be awake and aware of their social,
cultural, spiritual and political environment
and in control of their thought processes,
Afrikans in the UK must undertake a journey
to self-knowledge to combat self-rejection
and white supremacist induced notions of soul
destroying, self-effacement.. |
