[In the video work, Ashadu succeeds in relating the story of the protagonist to colonial structures in a poetic and sensual way, according to the jury’s statement for the award.] “The intimacy between horse and rider, the basis of the film, along with the scenery of beach and sea, suggests a sense of freedom while also pointing to aspects of Black history.”

Exhibition runs until 30 Oct 2022

Nominated for this year’s edition of the “Prize of the Böttcherstraße in Bremen” which takes place for the 48th time at Kunsthalle Bremen in August. The “Prize of the Böttcherstraße” is among the leading and highest awards in the field of contemporary art in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Fondazione In Between Art Film is pleased to announce the public program of Penumbra Vanishing Points, which kicks off on the 9th June in Venice with a conversation between artist Karimah Ashadu and Osei Bonsu, Curator for International Art at Tate Modern, London.
