Syowia Kyambi

My projects discuss taboo subjects in African society. I embody and articulate traces of Bantu and Germanic culture that inform my practice, exploring race, gender, memory and power. My residencies in IASPIS 2013 and Delfina Foundation 2016 catalysed the development of Between Us. Research undertaken with the Wellcome Collection, and the BIEA initiated continuing collaborations with artists and sociologists fostering cross-pollination between disciplines, activating audiences and conversations.
