Art Talk With Kitso Lynn Lelliott and Kelvin Haizel Date: Thursday, Sept. 10. Venue: theStudio, Top Floor Forico Mall, Osu -Mission Street. Time: 7:30pm The Studio, in partnership with Foundation For Contemporary Art - Ghana (FCA- Ghana), presents an interactive session with two contemporary artists — Kitso Lynn Lelliott (Botswana/ South Africa) and Kelvin Haizel (Ghana). Lelliott will be presenting the video "By And By Some Trace Remains" and making a read presentation of an exploratory text she wrote in response to the video. The text is a descriptive prose and theoretical reflection on the video: relating to “Transatlantic Saudades”, the broader project it functions within. Haizel will show his recent installation “Olive and Green are opposing harmonies” at the studio. He will use it as a starting point to discuss his experience in Àsìkò 5th CCA, Lagos International Art Programme in Maputo this year as well as his current direction as an artist. Bios: KITSO LYNN LELLIOTT is a filmmaker and PhD candidate at Wits University’s School of Arts. Her work has shown at film-festivals, art galleries and museum shows around the world. She is an Alumna of the Durban Talent Campus and the Berlinale Talents. Kitso is preoccupied with articulations from spaces beyond epistemic power and opening up spaces where subjectivities that have been written out come into view. Her current work engages with socio-cultural formations that took shape over the Atlantic during the African slave trade, a project initiated during an artist’s residency in Brazil. Her doctorate is concerned with the imaginative relationship between the African Diaspora in Brazil and West Africa, a relationship she explores through video and installation. More information on Kitso Lynn Lelliott here: kitsolynn.wordpress.com KELVIN HAIZEL works predominantly with installations that rely heavily on personal childhood experiences of growing up within a large household in Achimota (a suburb of Accra, Ghana). He adapts personal stories into fictitious narratives as a way of preserving memory of intimate relationships with family and other communities.
