Art, Migration and Identity
A unique art exhibition based on an IFAA 2008 artist in residency program by Thamgidi
Foundation. During this program eight African Biennale artists (Dakar, 2006) and several
national and international artists working and living in the Netherlands explored the theme
Art, Migration and Identity intensively. Their free association around a culture of cultures,
exchange and open dialogue resulted in a stunning art exhibition: Art, Migration and Identity.
Stichting Art in Redlight continues this intercultural dialogue in Amsterdam in more than
one way. As of the 14th of November the characteristic Oude Kerk will act as host for this
colourful collection of works. Preceding the exhibition Bright Ugochukwu Eke will be working
on a dazzling outdoor installation on the Nieuwmarkt. And as Eke explains, 'My work is
from the environment, about the environment; from the public, about the public from the
society/culture and about the society/culture' he invites everybody to participate in his creation.
Starting the 2nd of November! Furthermore the Biennale award winning 5 Apes Container
(Skopje, September 2009) will present their culinary table of discussions event How much is
Enough?
