In Afrogalactica: A brief history of the future, artist Kapwani Kiwanga takes on the role of an anthropologist who narrates an afrofuturist reality. Kiwanga was born in Hamilton, Ontario, and is currently based in Paris. She is a trained anthropologist & social scientist who works in video, sound & performance. Kiwanga is the Armory Show’s 2016 “Commissioned Artist” [appointed by Armory Focus curators, Julia Grosse and Yvette Mutumba, and The Armory Show]. Armory Focus: African Perspectives [a part of the 2016 Armory Exhibit] will provide a glimpse of international artistic production from contemporary African viewpoints [emerging curators, artists, galleries and art spaces that connect scenes and markets through global networks]. -- source link
