Moving Through Matter – metaphors, tactics, and imaginaries of space
On Friday, 17 October, Rijksakademie presents a dynamic event around Building Beyond Cycle 4, a collaboration between the Prince Claus Fund and the Creative Industries Fund NL. The event brings together the twelve Cycle 4 Building Beyond Fellows, uniting diverse voices from across the African continent at the intersection of art, space, and community. The Fellows present alternative tools, methods that respond to the shifting socio-political and environmental dynamics of our built environments.
This gathering provides a peek into the wider world of Building Beyond, a constellation between architecture, design, photography, sound, and performance. It is a space where Fellows engage to hold space for public life, community, and creativity converge in response to narratives of urbanism and spatial development.
Guided and mentored by spatial experts Ola Hassanain (RA 21/23), Hicham Bouzid and Fatima Bintou Rassoul Sy, the Fellows have spent the past year engaging on dynamics in their local context necessitate and inspire how art is made and shared in urban life.
Featuring: Abdul Rop, Adam Yawe, DORMANTYOUTH, Douglas Opoku Antwi, Klein MUIS, Maame Prempeh, Olorunfemi Adewuy, Oluwabukunmi Olukitibi, Sarri Elfaitouri, Seble Samuel, Abbey IT-A and Ọlájídé Ayẹni. Read more about the fellows.
