Indigo Waves and Other Stories: Re-Navigating the Afrasian Sea and Notions of Diaspora
Artists in Dialogue
Natasha Ginwala and Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung in conversation with artists of the exhibition
The Indian Ocean is a reservoir of memory keeping and coded legacies of the Afrasian Diaspora. Over an afternoon, artists of the exhibition summon various forms of relationality: in their stories of art-making and research, they recall water-borne affiliations marked in material cultures, navigation, gustatory, aural and literary practices.

Taking the Afrasian Sea (Indian Ocean) as a communal horizon, a common denominator and bridge, Indigo Waves and Other Stories: Re-Navigating the Afrasian Sea and Notions of Diaspora explores manifold links between Asian and African worlds.
