Bringing together an incredible array of writers, artists and filmmakers to reflect on the themes and ideas raised in 'The Trembling Museum'. The Hunterian exhibition 'The Trembling Museum', co-curated with Professor Manthia Diawara and Dr Terri Geis, explores new relations between the African art objects in the Hunterian collection and contemporary art. This special event invites contemporary practitioners to offer a range of new perspectives on the exhibition, and on the ideas of Martinican poet-thinker Édouard Glissant which are central to it.
Glissant's concepts of 'relation', 'opacity' and 'trembling', developed through his own diasporic perspective on the modern world, have been influential in many contexts and across many forms of creative work. In this event, artists, poets, theatre-makers and creative writers will take 'The Trembling Museum' as a point of departure for presentations, dialogues and new creative responses.
Contributors include: Tawona Sithole, Graham Eatough & Miek Zwamborn; Leo Robinson; Vanessa Onwuemezi.
