re-trace (part 3): The Station and The Studio

Karimah Ashadu @ Goethe Institut, Aug 14 – Sep 7

12 August 2014

Goethe Institut‘s Goethe on Main will be hosting artist Karimah Ashadu‘s latest project, titled re-trace (part 3): The Station and The Studio, at their Johannesburg location from August 14 to September 7. 

The year-long performance, painting and film project by the British-Nigerian artist took its roots across the world, starting in the Bouches-du-Rhône and Midi-Pyrénées regions of France and travelling to the streets of Johannesburg.

With the intention of sparking a wider cross-cultural exchange, re-trace explores the social construction of public and private space, especially in relation to the significance of territory in South Africa’s history, and the possibilities for correlation between disparate spaces.
