Discussion with the artist to be hosted by museum
Submitted photo by Luc Demers
Cameroonian artist Hervé Youmbi will speak at 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 22, in an online presentation about his Two-Faced (Double Visage) and his Faces of Masks series.
Youmbi will addresses how his work plays with elements of appropriation, documentation, and museological practice. As he explains, Two-Faced (Double Visage) raises questions about the role of “ethnographic” practice in contemporary art. His short presentation will be followed by a conversation with Dominique Malaquais, Senior Researcher at CNRS (Institut des Mondes Africains, Paris, France) and co-director with Kadiatou Biallo of the experimental curatorial platform SPARCK (Space for Pan-African Research, Creation and Knowledge). At the program’s conclusion, Youmbi and Malaquais will answer questions from the audience.
