DÁ FALA

Eduardo Aquino

Yonamine was born in Luanda in 1975 and lived in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil, UK and Portugal. His spatial installations and video works deal with Angolan history, simultaneously they are also inspired by popular culture and pop-art itself. The archeology of images from the collective archive is challenged by ironical comments concerning the present situation in Africa, playing with icons and heroic figures. Starting point for the installation Anthology Trash – Trash Anthology was the publication archive of the Iwalewa-Haus, whioch is deconstructed and questioning.

Exhibition Time: 27.11.11 to 04.03.12

Untitled Study, 2011

Peterson Kamwathi Waweru, born 1980 in Nairobi, has occupied himself for a long time with symbols and their meaning. In the exhibition he shows current drawings, woodcarving and graffiti, negotiating the historical, social and psychological mechanisms of conditioning and manipulation not only in his own society.

There is also a new publication - a cooperation with the Goethe-Institut and Verlag fuer Moderne Kunst Nürnberg, edited by J. Hossfeld and U. Vierke.
