In Conversation: Ibrahim Mahama and Nato Thompson
Moderated by TAAS Alum Chiara Nicoletti
Join us for a special conversation between internationally acclaimed Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama and curator, author, and founder of The Alternative Art School Nato Thompson, moderated by TAAS alum Chiara Nicoletti.
Known for his monumental installations using reclaimed materials, Mahama explores the histories of labor, colonialism, migration, and global exchange. Beyond his artistic practice, he has established ambitious cultural and educational spaces in Ghana, reimagining the relationship between art, community, and social transformation.
Together, Mahama and Thompson will explore the possibilities of art beyond the studio, from building alternative institutions and fostering artistic communities to imagining new forms of collective life. Drawing on their respective experiences as an artist and curator, they will consider how art can reshape the institutions we inhabit and create new possibilities for the future.
