What is the future role of programming? Which publics will be served, and how will these actions permeate and respond, beyond discursive reiterations, to the conditions of a wider community that the institution is a part of? This panel aims to unpack the role of discourse, what it can potentially achieve and its shortcomings as a productive or non-productive entity.

Speakers: András  Szántó (author and cultural consultant),  Adenrele  Sonariwo (lead curator of the Nigerian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2017) and  Tumelo  Mosaka (Curator of Cape Town Art Fair 2017), moderated by Koyo Kouoh.  

 Entry to the talks is free for all ticket holders of 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair. Further information on how to purchase tickets for the fair here.
