We are so excited to welcome you to our Madaraja Art Exhibition in Cardiff from 3rd-9th November from 6-9pm! Madaraja asks “how can we imagine equal and decolonised arts when dominant cultural narratives continue to shape our experiences and collective imagination?”. Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel has worked with racially minoritized communities and creatives, to establish de-colonised vehicles for culture, combining digital and traditional tools and drawing on African and diasporic cultures. Madaraja aims to act locally but think globally, whilst building bridges that link Wales and the African continent. Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel has directly connected with creatives, cultures and languages; exploring hierarchies and the potential of visual, poetic and creative tools, gesture to convey narratives, emotions and memories.
Funded by the Arts Council of Wales, Madaraja has commissioned 15 artists from across Wales (including Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and Wrexham) and the African continent (including Kenya, Cameroon and Tanzania). Madaraja artists come from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences and disciplines (such as painting, poetry, film sound and mixed media).
Connect with local and global artists from the African continent. There will also be performances, food and refreshments. So tell a friend to tell a friend and let us celebrate together!
