SUMMARY:Identity: an imagined state
DESCRIPTION:Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos is pleased to present t
 he first international exhibition of Video Art in Nigeria Identity:An 
 Imagined State, which constitutes the final part of a year long focus 
 on the medium. In fulfilment of our objectives to provide a platform f
 or artistic diversity and experimentation, CCA,Lagos focused on a spec
 ific medium over a twelve month period hosting a one week video art wo
 rkshop with One Minute Foundation and a two week workshop Linha Imagin
 aria conceived by Angolan Artist Miguel Petchkovsky and co-facilitated
  with Camerounian artist Goddy Leye and Brazilian Artist Eustaquio Nev
 es.\n\nIdentity: An Imagined State, brings together for the first time
  works by twelve established and emerging artists of different cultura
 l, geographic and social backgrounds from Nigeria, Africa, and South A
 merica. The works consider from both local and global perspective, the
  issues around identity in relation to Africa. As a point of departure
 , the exhibition explores associations with the label ‘African’ an
 d has been contextualized in a manner that reflects on, but without an
 swering, ‘what or who is an African.’ By exploring these themes th
 e exhibition tells the story of belonging, displacement, uncertainty, 
 visibility and negotiation through the medium of video art.\n\nPartici
 pating artists include Jude Anogwih(Nig), Lucy Azubuike(Nig), Uchay Jo
 el Chima(Nig), Luc Fosther Diop(CAM), Bouchra Khalili(MOR/FR), Vanessa
  Padilla(ECU), Thando Mama(SA), Grace Ndiritu(KEN/UK), Emeka Ogboh(NIG
 ), Berni Searle(SA), Aicha Thiam(SEN) and Kemang Wa Lehulere(SA).\n\nI
 dentity: An Imagined State is accompanied by a fully illustrated colou
 r publication with insightful texts by Krydz Ikwuemesi, Miguel Petchko
 vsky, Goddy Leye, Solange Farkas, introduction by Bisi Silva and after
 word by Antawan I. Byrd.\n\nPublic Programme\nIdentity: An Imagined St
