Abhilasha, "Can AI replace poets?"

image of a brown-skinned Black couple sitting in an opening of a lush green forest. The assumed male-bodied person is shirtless, wearing jeans and sneakers, and is holding the assumed female-bodied person–who wears a pink bikini and pink-trimmed sneakers–in his lap, with great care.

Anawana Haloba’s artistic practice is based on permanent research into contemporary history, culture and ideologies. Her sound, video and installation performances often arise out of poetic texts that she has previously written. They set out to confront the viewer with subjects such as human trafficking, self-identity, or repressive systems in the neo-colonial structures that still govern most contemporary societies. In this way, Anawana Haloba plays on the positive connotation of the word “foreigner” in Swahili, where it implies, not an uncultured new arrival but a traveller – someone who has learned much, and has much to give.
