Imagining and critiquing how globalised digital technology continues to shape and shift African futures, group exhibition Digital Imaginaries: Premonition comes to Wits Art Museum in the wake of a successful premiere in Dakar, Senegal. A collaboration between social scientists and artists, the second leg of this ongoing project also features artworks from the Dakar exhibition Digital Imaginaries: Non-Aligned Utopias which brought together artists from around Africa and the diaspora.

Artists featured include French-Guyanese Afro-futurist Tabita Rezaire whose works call for a rethinking of current information systems, Zimbabwean artist Kombo Chapfika whose videos recreate the hallucinations that form part of the Bwiti people from Gabon’s religious ceremonies and Joburg-based artist and cultural activist Marcus Neustetter who brings his video installation based on divination items found in Wits Art Museum’s extensive archive.

Sat Sep 22 from 12:00 Curator Talkabout with Fiona Rankin-Smith.
