TRACES AND TRANSITIONS

Curated by 2024 ARAK Curatorial Fellow Merilyn Mushakwe, Traces and Transitions delves into the nature of archives and their profound capacity to shape our understanding of history, memory, and identity. 

The artists featured in this exhibition express dissatisfaction with the limitations of traditional archival practices. They seek to retell stories, challenge dominant narratives, and give voice to the marginalised. Their works agitate the surface of the archive, revealing its inherent biases, omissions, and silences. By focussing on the intersections of body, memory, community, and connection, Traces and Transitions delves into the complexities of human experience. It investigates how artists use the archive as a catalyst for personal and societal transformation, highlighting how memory shapes individual and collective identities.

Traces and Transitions features work by Helena Uambembe, Zenaéca Singh, Mashir Kresenshun, Angelique Bougard, Tahir Carl Karmali, Arlene Wandera, Migadde Adrian, and Allan Kyakonye.
