The one-day public programme event for Capital by Coumba Samba will take place on 4 May, 2024, 2pm onwards at Cell Project Space. The day will consist of a panel discussion revolving around the circulation of materials, archive, movements, performance, and ideologies versed from Sub-Saharan Africa. All the paricipants have been invited to prepare a short presentation on their own work and practice. The day will be moderated by Cǒvco, Artist and Founder of Infinite FXX who will also prepare some questions to go through after each presentation. We are hoping to have an open discussion between all the panelists and a short Q&A from participants at the end of each conversation that everyone can be a part of.
