KABBO KA MUWALA - THE GIRL'S BASKET
0 - Default Title
Description
"Kabbo ka Muwala" translates as "the girl's basket". The expression is understood across Eastern Africa and refers to a traditional practice: in a basket, the bride transports presents to her new family and her parents in turn. Metaphorically, the basket represents expectations and hopes, but also disappointments and setbacks, which come with marriage as well as with processes of migration. In the exhibition title, it also serves as a hint that migrations are gendered processes. The exhibition catalogue combines artistic and curatorial perspectives with essays on contemporary African migration from cultural studies and social sciences.
