Join us for a talk by SAVVY Contemporary Artistic Co-Director, Elena Agudio, and SAVVY Head of Publications, Federica Bueti.

As an art space, discursive platform, eating and drinking spot, njangi house, space for conviviality SAVVY Contemporary situates itself at the threshold of notions and constructs of the West and non-West. Founded by Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, SAVVY Contemporary has defined as one of its focal points the urge to deliberate, experiment and experienciate on issues of conviviality and hospitality. Taking into consideration the rise of xenophobic and racial violence, widening gaps in class and economic realities, revamped hegemonial structures over the last years and decades, the necessity to reflect about hospitality seems to be more important than ever. In this talk, Elena Agudio and Federica Bueti will discuss some recent programming at SAVVY including the exhibition Ecologies of Darkness, and a new publication on notions of hospitality, co-published with Or Gallery and Archive Books.
