The Short Century
Independence and Liberation Movements in Africa
18 May 01 - 29 July 01
An exhibition by Okwui Enwezor in cooperation with the Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, and the House of World Cultures, Berlin The Short Century describes the impact of independence and liberation movements on the African continent between 1945 and 1994 on the visual arts, literature, film, photography, music, and architecture. Its interdisciplinary strategy aims to provide as comprehensive a view as possible. The guiding principle behind the exhibition (and the publication accompanying it) is the "archive" and, in the words of Okwui Enwezor, its "insistent and forensic will to recollect and interpret history."
