Artist Exhibition: Weaving our Past, Present and Future, by MIASA Artist in Residence Katesi Jacqueline Kalange

Katesi Jacqueline Kalange is an artist from Uganda. Her practice lies within a tapestry of sculpture, architecture, research, performance and installation art. It is inspired by the role African indigenous wisdom played and still plays in ensuring a harmonious co-existence between humans and other beings within shared eco systems. It goes ahead to challenge capitalist narratives that view other beings as mere resources to be exploited for man’s benefit. Thereby African indigenous wisdom is presented as a corner stone from which to propel innovations and inventions within our contemporary society today aimed at addressing challenges like inadequate waste management, climate change, unemployment, etc. 

Katesi Jacqueline Kalange is MIASA’s Artist in Residence from 1 September – 30 November 2024. In the upcoming exhibition “Weaving our Past, Present and Future” she will showcase her art project that she worked on during her residence.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

MIASA is located on Legon Campus at 26 Legon Hills (Kobina Richardson Hill Drive), close to Careers & Counseling Office. (Bolt/Uber/Google Maps: type “Merian Institute“).
