Cross-Currents presents recent video installations by four international artists with ties to Africa: Zwelethu Mthethwa, IngridMwangiRobertHutter, Moataz Nasr and Berni Searle. In each work, the amorphous quality of water is explored as a metaphor for shifting notions of identity, migration and
memory — of fluidity and instability, of spiritual rebirth, of violence and of traumatic loss of life. Water conceptually speaks to the invisible currents that drive the dissolution of familiar categories of race, nation and identity, and the dilution and loss of cultural heritage — all central issues today in contemporary post-colonial art and theory. Organized by Tufts University Art Gallery, Aidekman Arts Center. For more information please visit www.harn.ufl.edu or call 352.392.9826. |
