For the exhibition HERE AND NOW at Museum Ludwig: Dynamic Spaces, C& is collaborating with the Museum Ludwig. The long-term project C& Center of Unfinished Business will be the focus of Dynamic Spaces. In addition, video works by the artist groups The Nest Collective and CUSS with Vukani Ndebele, which were produced by C& for the online video platform, will be shown for the first time in a museum. With Nkiruka Oparah and Frida Orupabo, the exhibition also features two artists whose practice is characterized by reflection on African Diaspora identity, the questioning of the representation of the self and others, the reappropriation of images, and the influence of visual cultures from the Internet.
