About this Publication

Worldmaking within Politics of Sight and Space was curated by Sarah Abdu Bushra in 2020. Sarah was the inaugural fellow for the ARAK Collection Curatorial Residency fellowship. She is an Ethiopian curator of visual and performing arts exhibitions. Anchored through the contested definition and experiences of locality – as it informs the spatial as well as material narratives of artworks present within the ARAK collection, this exhibition attempts to trace the life of selected artworks from their spaces of creation and showcase the less documented modes of practices that birthed them. Through the work of outlining the arts ecosystem of three East African countries (Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda) and their diaspora, the exhibition focuses on what is particular about this triangular nexus, as it relates to the way artists produce work, the way they build/inhabit a studio, to how they form their networks.
