It is indeed a reason for joy and being proud for the KAAD when an artist sponsored by our organisation exhibits at the Art Biennale in Venice. After all, the Biennale is considered to be the most important art exhibition alongside the Documenta in Kassel, Germany. However, it is indeed extraordinary that two artists sponsored by KAAD exhibit in the pavilions of their countries at the 58th Biennale this year. Both artists are African women who were or rather are sponsored by KAAD for their master’s programme.
KAAD-Alumna Selasi Awusi Sosu represents her home country Ghana with a glass art installation while the current scholarship holder Georgina Maxim performs her textile art for Zimbabwe. Ghana is even celebrating its premiere at the Biennale whereas Zimbabwe is already represented with a pavilion for the fifth time.
The motto of this year’s international art exhibition “May you live in interesting times“ is not only reflected by their art, but also by their biographies.
