Asithukanga
By HERMES, ISAAC ZAVALE
Not Afraid of Art - under this title, the academy members and international artists are collaborating with the Cologne art scene as part of a three-year project. The aim is to create a space for shared learning and to cultivate an understanding of the social and political potential of art.
The exhibition under the same name in the ADKDW Studio deals with the themes of power and fear and presents artistic positions by Barış Doğrusöz, Kanitha Tith, Anastasia Sosunova, Buket Isgören, and Žiga Sever.
Two interventions will be presented outside the ADKDW studio: The commissioned work How the Leopard got his claws by Yussif Musah at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum until 01 12 2024 and Asithukanga by Isaac Zavale until 01 09 2024 in the showcases of the UNG-5, at the Ebertplatz subway station.
In his paintings Asithukanga Isaac Zavale paints what a young man from the township puts up to visit Johannesburg. His story unfolds when he is confronted with his fear during a robbery. The Academy of the Arts of the World is showing his works in the exhibition Not Afraid of Art in the ADKDW studio and in the show cases at UNG-5 on Ebertplatz, accompanied by a radio interview.
