To consider multiple perspectives about migrations, modernism, and Italian colonization in East Africa – the subject of Dawit L. Petros: Spazio Disponibile – in greater depth, The Power Plant presents a series of online conversational programs in partnership with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
Initially conceived as a symposium, this series seeks to illuminate how this period of colonization in African and Italian history informs the current political climate, past and present migrations, and how artists continue to respond to its legacy.
This program features a presentation by Carmen Belmonte, and a conversation between the scholar and curator Irene Campolmi. The conversation is followed by a Q&A.
Note/Erratum: In the remarks, Campolmi is introduced as having curated an exhibition by Kris Lemsalu at Den Frie, Copenhagen. This exhibition was cancelled due to COVID19.
