A Diagnosis of Time: Unlearn What You Have Learned

Tamale, Ghana

30 April, 2021 — 03 November, 2021

Group Exhibition

A Diagnosis of Time: Unlearn What You Have Learned is a collaborative effort of Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (Ghana) and ARoS Art Museum (Denmark).

The exhibition stems from a conceptual framework on time as a plastic and non-linear medium, focusing on materials, objects and processes embraced by the artists with a sensibility to our contemporaneity. In this show, we explore ideas related to modernity, technology, history and ecology, embodied in the works presented and the sites involved.

A Diagnosis of Time presents a total of thirty-three works assembled from varied sources. This includes contemporary artists from Africa and the diaspora, a selection of contemporary art from ARoS’s collection, and works of modern art from the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board’s collection. The exhibition also features certain cultural and scientific objects from collections of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and of the Museum of Archeology, University of Ghana.

The exhibition is networked across three sites in Tamale: SCCA Tamale, Red Clay and Nkrumah Voli-ni and one site in Accra: The Workshop, Museum of Science and Technology, Accra. A lineup of live and virtual activities – workshops, film screenings, discussions and more will expand on the exhibited works.
