Synchronicity II @ Tiwani Contemporary (African gallery)

Synchronicity II presents work by artists from Africa and its diaspora which is rooted in contemporary creativity in a global context. Like the experience of synchronicity in psychoanalysis, their artistic practices capture the spirit of the moment, connected on one hand yet individual on the other. A version of facts in one place also has its principle of equivalence on the other side of the planet. In Swahili, DUNI NI MAPISHANO means 'The World is Made of Differences' invoking a situation in which translations are not only possible but respectful of difference and specificities. Synchronicity attempts to make visible these interdependencies as much as its independences, allowing for multiple readings in which limits are difficult to perceive. These issues are implicit in the work presented and rendered across a variety of media including photography, video installation, and sound.
