South South Veza: Viewing Room Kiximbi
On this website, South South Veza curates contempory art by artists from the global South. Kiximbi is the name of one of the viewing rooms. Here, spectators are confronted with new and exiting currents in contemporary art production. The viewing rooms are open until 7 March.
Kiximbi derives from the Bantu language family kimbundu and alludes to water spirits. With this online viewing room, the curators engage with the power of water as experienced from the onset of slavery until today. The exhibition follows several artists and their interaction with the many facets of water, especially when viewed through the lenses of violence and slavery. That way, the viewing room go well beyond the display of art as they raise critical voices and views on the imposition of European values and aestetics over African and specifically Angolan artisanship.
