    Building Context: What We Think About When We Write About Contemporary Art (feat. Syowia Kyambi and Wanini Kimemiah)

    Corpus speaks to Nairobi-based artists Syowia Kyambi and Wanini Kimemiah about the place of art writing in their individual artistic practices, and as part of a larger ecosystem of contemporary art. We discuss the factors that have influenced the ways we read and write about the visual art in Nairobi; the different forms it has taken and roles it has played; and the questions at stake in our engagement with visual art through language. What use is writing that does not ground the art it speaks of in its social-political context? You can find the transcript and links here. This episode is the second in a three-part Corpus series following the 2019 Art Writing Workshop held in Nairobi and Kampala, and is included alongside other text and video content in a Writing Toolkit developed out of the workshop.  This workshop was a partnership by 32º East, Nairobi Contemporary, Art Monthly, the British Institute in Eastern Africa, the British Council and Newcastle University.

    Encounters with Art Writing (feat. Roseline Olang' and Jonathan Fraser)

    In the first of a three-part series on art writing, we are joined by Roseline Olang' and Jonathan Solanke Gathaara Fraser, two artists, writers, and friends of the podcast for a conversation about our relationship to different forms of writing about contemporary art. We discuss what we think works with art writing, the places where we encounter art writing, and various pieces of writing that we have made an impression on us. We also talk about our experience of art writing, and our intentions with the writing that we do. This episode is the first in a three-part Corpus series following a 2019 art writing workshop held in Nairobi and Kampala, and is included alongside other text and video materials in a Writing Toolkit developed out of the workshop.  This workshop was a partnership by 32º East, Nairobi Contemporary, Art Monthly, the British Institute in Eastern Africa, the British Council and Newcastle University.
