The Body Is The Primary Museum: Prof. Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung

Passionate about creating spaces of learning, Prof. Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung shares his perspectives with Beatrace on artisanship from Africa and the diaspora. An internationally renowned curator of African art, author, professor at the Weissensee Academy of Art in Berlin, founder of Savvy Contemporary, yet with a doctorate in biophysics, Ndikung gives a critically thought-out and cross-dimensional perspective on the current state of post colonial art and fashion. A mouthful right? And newly awarded OCAD University International Curators Residency fellowship in Toronto. Not only that but we get a taste of his encyclopedic knowledge of history, philosophy, artisans, and fashion designers from Africa in this interview. ‘I don’t think the catwalks in Europe or America need to legitimise their [African fashion designers’] existence’. ‘It’s never just the aesthetic it’s always about the meaning’.
