WRITE, IF YOU PLEASE
FESTAC 2077
Oct 31-Nov 5, 2024
Write, if you please is a FESTAC 2077 presentation of their ongoing exploration of alternative publishing practices. Manifesto ACTS! is FESTAC 2077’s inaugural multi-year program. The project’s ultimate task–writing a manifesto for FESTAC 2077–initiates projects, experiences, and interactions which take up notions of the public and publicness, authorship and authority, spectacle and speculation, text and intertextuality. Through sonic and visual fragments from their 2023 and recent July workshop, Write, if you please explores publishing as an invitation, and printing as a public and collaborative process. Viewers are invited to imagine, enact, and recreate FESTAC 2077 manifestos. This exhibition is presented in partnership with AWCA and made possible by the Goethe Institut Nigeria's Support + Connect Initiative.
