Interview with Grada Kilomba

Grada Kilomba’s work addresses issues of gender and race, trauma and memory, in the context of current debates on colonialism and post-colonialism and as research into the ambiguous relationship between remembering, forgetting, and the collective memory and identity of Africans living in Diaspora. Evoking African oral traditions and their power to carry on the spoken word, the artist’s work gives voice to silenced narratives with the aim of rewriting and retelling a history that has been suppressed or disregarded.
The interview accompanies Kilomba's exhibition Secrets to Tell, a production of the MAAT--Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology/EDP Foundation, Lisbon, curated by Inês Grosso, in partnership with The Power Plant, Toronto. It is showing at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery from 23 June - 3 September 2018.
