💥 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗢 𝗙𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗔

🔜 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥: 𝙓𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨⁣ 6 March - 21 June
Artists: Kodwo Eshun & Anjalika Sagar ⁣
⁣
The Otolith Group was established in London in 2002 by artist and theorist Kodwo Eshun (b. 1966, London) and artist Anjalika Sagar (b. 1968, London). Eshun and Sagar’s work emerges from the desire to redirect the aesthetics of the essay film towards a political science fiction. Their moving images, audiovisual installations, photography and writing are concerned with the political imagination of futures engendered by the histories and presences of global African and Asian diasporas. The Otolith Group’s name alludes to otoliths: the calcium carbonate microcrystals located within the middle ear that play a critical role in the formation of balance, movement and proprioception.⁣

⁣
The term ‘Xenogenesis’ alludes to the Xenogenesis Trilogy, the collective name for Dawn (1987), Adulthood Rites (1988)and Imago (1989), the novels written by Octavia Estelle Butler (1947–2006), the great African American feminist science fiction author. Octavia Butler’s powerful fictions provide an ongoing inspiration for the artists’ preoccupations with futurity, speculation, alienation, raciality, mutation, evolution and the planetary. Alongside Octavia Butler stands the critical figure, the legendary Bengal philosopher and social reformer Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), who informs the pivotal work in this exhibition O-Horizon. ⁣
