Everything Is Connected

Light Work presents: Everything is Connected: African Artists in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale! ⁠sponsored by The Africa Institute, Global Studies University launching next week!
The Africa Institute, Global Studies University, is an interdisciplinary academic research institute dedicated to the study, research and documentation of Africa, its people, and its cultures; its complex past, present and future; and its manifold connections with the wider world. The Institute is conceived as a research-based think-tank, and a postgraduate studies institution (offering both master’s and Ph.D. programs), which aims to train a new generation of critical thinkers in African and African diaspora studies. The institute programs include international symposia and conferences, teaching of African languages and translation programs, active publishing of books and periodicals, visual art exhibitions and artist commissions, film and performance series, and community classes and outreach events.
For the series, Folasade Ologundudu, writer, curator, and the creator, host, and producer of Light Work Presents Everything is Connected, speaks with artists and curators of the African diaspora participating in this year's 60th edition of the Venice Biennale. Before, during the vernissage, and after the VIP opening of the Venice Biennale, Ologundudu engages in-depth conversation with artists and curators during this historic edition of the Biennale, presenting more African nations and artists than ever before.
Light Work is a creative media platform rooted at the intersection of art, education, and culture highlighting the work of emerging, mid career, and established artists from diverse communities and the art professionals who seek to amplify their achievements and contributions to society.
