Boda Boda Lounge is currently accepting video art submissions from artists based in Africa\u00a0and of African descent. Selected submissions will be put forward for intracontinental screening and exhibition programming.<\/p>\n<p>The Boda Boda Lounge festival is based on the conviction that video art can create exchanges between different contexts in\u00a0Africa that allow both the transcending of physical boundaries and the creation of an intimate atmosphere for introspection\u00a0and contemplation.<\/p>\n<p>An English text translated into French and then translated into Xhosa. The same text in Xhosa is then\u00a0re-translated into English and French. And through language, various contexts and cultures are used to\u00a0arrive at another imaginary place consequently multiplying mythologies.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s edition titled Soft Pow(ers) is conceptualised by artist Euridice Zaituna Kala. Artists are invited\u00a0to respond to \u00c9douard Glissant1\u2019s notion of Tout Monde 2 (all the world): to deepen and complicate the\u00a0links amongst the complex African worlds that go beyond the inherited Anglo, Luso and Franco worlds,\u00a0to creolise rather than hybridise, and to compose a new language within these parameters \u2013 that Tout\u00a0Monde identity, that soft pow(er), that is at times operating covertly. This is a call to re\ufb02ect on identity not\u00a0as a single strand or a single truth but one that has been shaped and reshaped by different encounters,\u00a0resulting in a dynamic identity that is not bound by place especially in this moment where technology\u00a0temporarily \ufb02attens space.<\/p>\n<p>One is therefore confronted by a possible loss of perfect diction \u2013 an inability to articulate in one language,\u00a0when accepting the Tout Monde as each individual fnds new ways for the practice of the everyday that\u00a0is informed by a multitude of contexts. Artists are invited to respond with works that refer to multiple perspectives of the self, their practice and their complex contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application requirements:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Any artist from Africa or the diaspora working in digital and multimedia art can participate<br \/>\n\u2022 Works should have been produced in the past 5 years<br \/>\n\u2022 Artists can submit a maximum of 3 videos<br \/>\n\u2022 Videos should be no longer than 10 minutes<br \/>\n\u2022 Each work must be accompanied by a new application form<br \/>\n\u2022 Applications can be sent to bodalounge@vansa.co.za by 31 August 2018 (wetransfer\/dropbox links are\u00a0acceptable)<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Boda Boda Lounge<\/strong><br \/>\nThe term Boda Boda is an adaptation of the word border and alludes to a cross-border movement, suggesting\u00a0physical mobility and movement across lines that universally represent the divide of land and space.<\/p>\n<p>Boda Boda Lounge is project, which aim to diffuse video art across the continent. It was initiated by the Visual\u00a0Arts Network of South Africa (Johannesburg, South Africa) and Centre d\u2019art Waza (Lubumbashi, DRC) in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Boda Boda Lounge intends to enable wide access for African artists to be part of the festival and at the same time\u00a0working with a range of African arts organisations. It is an engagement with low-cost, widely accessible exchange\u00a0processes on the African Continent. Soft Pow(ers) will be the 3rd edition of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Artist Bio<br \/>\nEuridice Zaituna Kala is a Mozambican artist and trained photographer, currently based in Paris.
