The BMW Art Generation will return on 02.11.24
Centred around a conference of discourse and discursive essays within
contemporary African art, this year The BMW Art Generation will take place at
the Nirox Sculpture Park.
A convening bringing cultural excellence together for a full day of connection
and exchange through conversation, live performances and a demonstration of
Africa’s lifestyle excellence for art enthusiasts on African soil.
Towards JoyKinetics of Art & History Vol. II
A moment of intentional consideration, the second iteration of The BMW Art
Generation is an invitation to exhale as we bear witness to the current
moment.
Examined through a generative jouissance and intergenerational exchange, this
edition of The BMW Art Generation acknowledges the societal role of art during
the current geopolitical epoch. When things cannot be put into words, this is
where we turn to art. Aware of the function community, joy and imagination
play in addressing the status quo, the artistic practices we look to, in this
edition of The BMW Art Generation, have historical and contemporary gravitas
in continued and determined practices looking towards joy.
A continuation of the theme Kinetics of Art & History, this edition expands
what was established last year with a keen consideration on our current
collective climate. Its premise supports The BMW Art Generation’s mandate to
fortify the future of contemporary African art.

The BMW Art Generation 2023 in Retrospect
Foregrounding an ethos that fosters a new generation in the contemporary
African art ecosystem, The BMW Art Generation began the work of ensuring the
transference of knowledge from one generation to another. Leading up to the
second edition, we look back to the inauguration where culture thrived over 6
talks, 3 exhibitions, 4 open studios, 2 monumental performances, ten retailers
and twenty leading contemporary art practitioners. Featuring field leaders,
the weekend’s conversations went from artistic practices relevant to our
ecosystem all the way through to collection as the reclamation of African
agency.
