本次展览由 Nneoma Angela Okorie、E.N. Mirembe 和 Jamil Osmar Parasol 三位资深策展人，精心筹备三大别具一格的策展单元《解构无止尽》、《破茧》、《一成不变的地理版图》。

这些展览主题诞生于 2023 年 ARAK 策展奖学金计划，围绕非洲身份、多元流动及未来想象等核心议题，全面且深入地呈现非洲当代艺术的独特风貌与深厚内涵，从多个角度，审视当代非洲艺术中的文化传承、变革发展以及丰富的创造力，为我们打开了一扇了解非洲艺术的独特窗口。

开幕当日多国跨界联动

艺术文化的多元交融盛会

3月29日 开幕式当天，现场将汇聚来自阿拉克收藏藏家、世界各地的艺术家、策展人，以及热情的艺术爱好者、中非文化爱好者。专业策展人将引领大家进行首次展览导览，策展人凭借自身深厚的专业知识储备，以及对展品鞭辟入里的深刻理解，为您娓娓道来每件作品背后鲜为人知的创作故事、蕴含其中的独特理念，清晰梳理非洲当代艺术的发展脉络，助力您深度沉浸，更透彻地欣赏和领悟每一件展览作品。

系列主题讲座

解锁非洲艺术的多元维度

开启中非艺术对话新篇

在本次艺术盛会中，除了令人期待的开幕式，我们还为您精心筹备了一系列聚焦中非艺术文化的主题讲座对谈。来自世界各地的知名艺术家、资深策展人以及资深收藏家等将汇聚于此，以他们独到的见解和丰富的经验，从历史渊源、创作理念、市场发展、文化影响等多个维度，深入剖析非洲当代艺术。

随着全球艺术格局的演变，新兴对话不断涌现，为更深入的文化交流创造可能。《Confluence交汇》是一场富有思考性的对谈系列，聚焦非洲当代艺术与中国艺术界之间不断发展的关系。

该系列对谈作为展览 “阿拉克收藏视角——非洲当代艺术展” 的延伸策划，展览由 Nneoma Angela Okorie、E.N. Mirembe 和 Jamil Osmar Parasol 三位策展人发起，源于 2023 年 ARAK 策展人资助计划（Curatorial Fellowship Programme），探讨非洲身份、多元流动及未来想象等议题。

由 Dr. Sara Bint Moneer Khan 构思策划，本次系列对谈邀请知名艺术家、策展人及收藏家，共同探讨非洲艺术在中国当下的意义、收藏家在塑造其全球旅程中的作用、非中历史文化交流的深远影响，以及在技术驱动时代背景下艺术创新的未来方向。

As the global art landscape shifts, new dialogues emerge, fostering the possibility for deeper cultural exchange. ’Confluence’ is a thought-provoking talk series that explores the evolving relationship between African contemporary art and the Chinese art scene.

It is intended as an accompaniment to “Perspectives from the ARAK Collection”, which brings together three distinct curatorial projects by Nneoma Angela Okorie, E.N. Mirembe and Jamil Osmar Parasol—developed in 2023 as part of ARAK’s Curatorial Fellowship Programme—that examine, among other things, African identities, movements and imagined futures.

Conceived by Dr. Sara Bint Moneer Khan, this programme features leading artists, curators and collectors who will unpack the significance of African art in China today, the role of collectors in shaping its journey, the deep historical connections between the two regions and the future of artistic innovation in an increasingly tech-driven world.

讲座一：非洲艺术在当代中国的重要意义 Talk 1. Why African art matters in China today

讲座时间Time

14:00 - 15:00   

嘉宾 Speakers

在全球艺术生态的演变中，在中国展示非洲当代艺术既合时宜又意义深远。非洲艺术场景充满活力，其创造力蓬勃、市场增长迅速且国际认可度日益提升。与此同时，中国艺术生态也因经济腾飞、城市化进程及全球参与度提高而发生巨变。

基于Nneoma Angela Okorie在《破茧》中的策展探索，本场讲座将聚焦艺术的变革力量。当这两种艺术世界交织时，如何构建反叙事、挑战刻板印象、拓宽文化理解并促成有意义的联结？在建立此类连接点时，艺术从业者如何呈现经验的多重性与独特性，从而开启更深层的跨大陆对话？

As the global art landscape evolves, showcasing African contemporary art in China has become both timely and significant. Africa’s art scene is thriving, characterised by dynamic creativity, a growing market and increasing global recognition. Simultaneously, China’s artistic landscape has transformed through rapid economic growth, urbanisation and greater global engagement.

Building on Nneoma Angela Okorie’s curatorial exploration in Beyond the Chrysalis, this talk will foreground the transformative capacity of art. How might the interweaving of these worlds help to construct counter-narratives, challenge stereotypes, broaden cultural understanding and foster meaningful connections? In establishing such points of connection, how might practitioners in the arts represent both the plurality and singularity of experiences conveyed, opening doors to deeper cross-continental dialogue and exchange?

Sven Christian (moderator)

私人收藏家与赞助人在提升非洲当代艺术的全球可见度、认知度与可持续性中扮演关键角色。本场讨论将探讨收藏家（无论是资深或新晋）如何以文化大使与倡导者身份，而非单纯买家，与非洲艺术展开深度互动。

议题涵盖伦理收藏实践、建立对艺术家的长期支持体系，以及在跨文化语境（如ARAK收藏）中的责任。主讲人还将探讨非洲艺术在全球市场中的认知演变、其经济与文化价值、拓展新受众的策略，以及伴随扩张的责任。最终，本场讨论旨在为收藏家提供建立与非洲艺术家及机构可持续关系的洞见。

Private collectors and patrons play a key role in shaping the visibility, appreciation and sustainability of African contemporary art on the global stage. This panel will explore how collectors—both seasoned and new—can meaningfully engage with African art, not just as buyers but as cultural ambassadors and advocates.  

The discussion will cover essential topics such as ethical collecting practices, fostering long-term support systems for artists and the responsibilities that come with patronage, particularly in cross-cultural contexts like the ARAK Collection. Speakers will also address the evolving perception of African art in global markets, its economic and cultural significance, strategies for expanding its reach to new audiences and the responsibilities that such expansion entails. Ultimately, the panel aims to provide collectors with insights into building impactful, sustainable relationships with African artists and institutions.
