National Art Gallery of Namibia - NAGN

1884 - 1915

An artistic position
Opening Feb 04, 2016 at 06:30 pm
Start date Feb 05, 2016
End date Mar 12, 2016

The exhibition is conceived with the desire of exploring the heritage of German Colonialism left in Namibia after the period 1884 - 1915. The exhibition, curated in collaboration with the German artist/ curator Spunk Seipel, is an attempt to discuss a very difficult chapter of our history by bringing together works by artists, based both in Namibia and Germany, who try to suggest an approach to looking at, understanding and somehow coming to terms with this challenging history. In the last hundred years, opinions of the colonial past in Germany and Namibia have differed and the matter is still considered politically sensitive. Both the Nama and Herero people suffered the greatest losses during the extermination war lead by the German empire, but full acceptance of historical guilt remains widely unacknowledged in both countries. This is why the "1884 to 1915- An artistic position” exhibition wants to set up a platform from which to create dialogue. Namibian as well as German artists, despite not being historians are given the opportunity to express their own, subjective views of history, by stimulating and creating discussion while raising awareness of the past.
