Mascon: A Massive Concentration of Black Interscalar Energy
If Pan-Africanism opens the political horizon of Africa鈥檚 modernity, then its borderless imagination is best envisioned in cinema鈥檚 Africanas. In a new work commissioned for the major exhibitions on Pan-Africanism at the Art Institute, the British duo Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar of the Otolith Group have conceived a mural that studies the films directed by Senegalese filmmakers Ousmane Semb猫ne and Djibril Diop Mamb茅ty between 1963 and 2003. Picture a mural that montages the spaces, bodies, faces, forms, gestures, expressions, geometries, and geographies of the cinematic Sahel imagined and invented by Mamb茅ty and Semb猫ne.
