After Year Zero looks at the emergent new world order after 1945 with a focus on the intertwining of European and African history. Works by artists such as John Akomfrah, Kader Attia, Yervant Gianikian & Angela Ricci Lucchi, The Otolith Group or Jihan El-Tahri engage with the era of decolonization and its attempts to challenge and transform the framework of Western-dominated modernity. In addition, a conference will focus on “geographies of collaboration”. Curated by Anselm Franke and Annett Busch in collaboration with the participating artists. Produced by HKW and Goethe Institut, Brussels.
