hkw’s Bonaventure Ndikung - Transatlantic Stargate'

“We have been trying to… rethink the space. We invited artists to paint walls… even the floor,” Ndikung

HKW artistic director Bonaventure Ndikung poses in front of the work 'Transatlantic Stargate' by artists Antonio Jose Guzman and Iva Jankovic, part of the O Quilombismo exhibition at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW-House of the Cultures of the World) museum in Berlin.

One of the rare African-born figures to head a German cultural institution, Bonaventure Ndikung is aiming to highlight post-colonial multiculturalism at a Berlin arts centre with its roots in Western hegemony.
