Still (the) Barbarians
Curated by Koyo Kouoh
16 April–10 July 2016
Deadline: 12.00pm IST* 15 June 2015
EVA International – Ireland’s Biennial of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce that the 37th edition in 2016 will be curated by Koyo Kouoh, independent curator and founding artistic director of RAW Material Company, a centre for art, knowledge and society in Dakar, Senegal.
EVA 2016 will be titled Still (the) Barbarians and will investigate the post-colonial condition of Ireland as a point of departure from where artistic reflections, critical redefinitions and political transformations are articulated. The biennial programme will address artistic, architectural, literary and critical positions that interpret colonial effects on the psyche, landscape and imagination, and that continue to shape our present condition. Artists’ projects will be selected through an open call for proposals. Proposals are invited from individual artists or groups in response to the curatorial project Still (the) Barbarians and in the context of the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland.
