Unsettling All Things Endlessly

Sustaining the Otherwise presents Unsettling All Things Endlessly, a collaboration featuring a residency at Angels&Muse for artist Andrea Chung, an interdisciplinary public program at CCA Lagos, and an artist talk and presentation for the Black Muse Art Festival, Benin City.

The collaborative program Unsettling All Things Endlessly centers around an exploration of the concept of rematriation, and everything that entails, including epistemic restitution and the importance of indigenous and ancestral knowledge, and the potential for spiritual and cultural repair through memory work. The program is guided by an unruly, disruptive, and disorderly approach to dismantling coloniality and the restitution industrial complex.

Within this conceptual context, the program features artists whose work conveys the beautiful otherwise and offers a viable alternative to the patriarchal mindset that still seems to dominate conversations around restitution.

The program includes a short film screening and an artist talk with Andrea Chung, artist in residence at Angels & Muse, in conversation with Roli O’tsemaye Afinotan, Curator and Artistic Director of Angels & Muse. It also features two live performances: Frail Body by Samuel Udoh and Flo by Oluwatosin Oyee.
