Today at 12pm @parasite_radio will be broadcasting an archival recording of the conversation held between @bonaventurendikung, @elisalarkinn and @audechristel during the opening of sonsbeek20→24: Abstracting Parables on July 1st 2022 @stedelijkmuseum The title of this conversation comes from Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung’s essay 'Abdias do Nascimento: Being an Event of Love'. In the essay Bonaventure proposes to think of Abdias do Nascimento’s oeuvre and life as a stone that on the one hand represents continuity and the other hand stability. The expression comes from a Cameroonian pidgin sentence which translates as “water flows past the stone and the stone is still there” and is a response to the question: How are you doing? “wata go leave stone” talks about the powerful and undeniable historical importance of Abdias do Nascimento who contributed to passing ways of being in the world from Africa epistemologies to different generations through multiple artistic forms, and to the political and to the liberation of afro descendants especially in Brazil withstanding all the violent currents.
