Morning session: 10 am – 1 pm 'Unmapped'
Afternoon session: 3 pm – 6 pm 'Histories and Futures of Exhibition Making in Eastern Africa'

UNMAPPED:
The morning session "Unmapped" explores the social settings of African cities and how changes in the political and economic landscape influence or inspire a creativity of survival in the habitants of the unplanned areas of the cities. Unmapped is a quest for implications of different urban living and working conditions and for artistic interpretations of those.

Speakers:
Paul Ndunguru (artist, KLA ART 014, Tanzabia)

HISTORIES AND FUTURES OF EXHIBITION MAKING IN EASTERN AFRICA:
The discussion of the afternoon session reflects on the intentions of exhibition making, questioning why and how those intentions might have changed. Interrogating the paradigms of artistic production and curating in Eastern Africa today, investigating how knowledge on art is generated and disseminated, and how the past informs the present, are some of the issues for discussion in this session.
