Għaliex huwa importanti li nitkellmu dwar l-art u l-ilma, id-dawl u l-ħin, bħala sistema li taħdem?
Din il-wirja kollettiva turi xogħlijiet ta’ artisti Afrikani li jesperimentaw bil-ksur estetiku ta’ prattiċi indiġeni li spiss jimitaw, jestendu, u jdawru f’arti grandjuża u preċiża s-sistema vaskulari li taħdem fid-dinja naturali. L-artisti l-magħżula jittrattaw il-produzzjoni tal-għarfien u d-dokumentazzjoni billi jesploraw mumenti fugaċi ta’ komprensjoni filwaqt li jagħmlu viżibbli l-epistemoloġiji tan-nofsinhar li jinsabu f’pajsaġġi subalterni. Dawn l-artisti jieħdu, bħala kumpanni, elementi intanġibbli bħaż-żmien, il-luminożità, in-niket, l-opulenza, u t-taħsir u jużawhom bħala kondotti biex jinvolvu ruħhom mal-ineffabbli li huma jittrattaw bħala kollaboratur trażversali.
Il-poeżija, li minnha tissellef isimha din il-wirja, tesplora l-forza tal-ħbiberija. Hija tappartjeni għal grupp ta’ poeżiji taħt is-sottotaqsima Sohbet, terminu li bejn wieħed u ieħor ifisser “konverżazzjoni mistika dwar suġġetti mistiċi". Il-wirja tittratta din il-metafora billi tgħaqqad flimkien l-artisti u l-prattiċi sitwati tagħhom f’forma ta’ alleanza orizzontali profonda.

Why is it important to speak about land and water, light and time, as a system at work?
This collective exhibition shows works of African artists who experiment with aesthetic rupture of indigenous practices that often, mimic, extend, entwine in grand and precise artistry the vascular system at work in the natural world. The selected artists deal with knowledge production and documentation exploring fugitive moments of comprehension making visible epistemologies of the south that are situated insubaltern landscapes. These artists take, as companions, intangible elements such as time, luminosity, grief, opulence, and decay and use them as conduits to engage with the ineffable which they treat as a transversal collaborator.
The poem, from which this exhibition borrows its name, explores the force of friendship. It belongs to a group of poems under the sub-section Sohbet, a term that roughly translates to “mystical conversation on mystical subjects”. The exhibition engages with this metaphor by bringing together artists and their situated practices in a form of deep, horizontal alliance.
