The one minutes Africa - Meeting in Rotterdam - February 4, 2010
At the beginning of 2009 the SMBA team started a research project under the title ‘Africa Reflected’. This project looks closely at representations of Africa within contemporary art production, with the aim of finding alternatives to predominantly stereotypical mass media representations.
On October 25, 2009, Miguel Petchkovsky and Heiner Holtapples met Dr, Manuel Veiga, Ministry of Culture of Cabo Verde, and the multimedia artist Mito Elias, in order to discuss the implementation of the project Tchuba_ NA Vulcão in Cabo Verde, within the context of TIME FRAME.
Thanks to the initiative Talking About! by iStrike Foundation (Rotterdam), TIME_FRAME had the chance to meet six artists and cultural producers from Cameroon on September 19,2009 : Ruth Belinga (artist, curator, Yaounde), Goody Leye (artist, founder of artist's initiative Art Bakery, Douala), Herve Youmbi (artist, member of the collective Cercle Kapsiki, Douala), Achilleka Komguem (artist, editor of newspaper Diartgonale, Yaounde), Lionel Manga (writer, Douala), Achille Atina (cultural mediator, Douala).
TIME FRAME has traveled already to Latin America and Africa in order to identify possibilities of collaboration with artists, curators and art institutions within the context of the project.
The experience proved to be not only nourishing and inspiring, but also fruit ful and promising in terms of creating sinergies and cooperation.
