\nFinissage
\nNicholas Odhiambo Mboya<\/strong>
\nUtopia – Dystopia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

In his multimedia works, Nicholas Mboya addresses socio-political realities in his home country of Kenya alongside experiences of the African diaspora in Germany. In his first institutional solo exhibition, the Hamburg-based artist reflects on the field of tension between idealized notions of belonging and actual experiences of exclusion.<\/p>\n

Utopia – Dystopia<\/em> explores migration, structural invisibility and external as well as self-perceptions in a present shaped by colonial continuities. It places the body at the centre – as a site of political inscription, as an archive of individual and collective memory, as an actor in the midst of social negotiation processes. And it invites us to question existing systems – poetically condensed and politically urgent.<\/p>\n

The finissage will bring the exhibition to a festive close. At 3 pm, visitors are invited to join a guided tour with the curator<\/a>. Afterwards, the ReferenceLibrary on Public Art<\/a> will be opened at the foyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
