WAITHOOD Magazine

By exploring the intersection between contemporary art, the urban landscape, and the youth experience, WAITHOOD magazine finds exhibition making and publishing, exciting formats of putting these interests into practice. Departing from initial investments in understanding the present conditions black artists are expected to thrive, the magazine project adopts a contextualizing tone, in that it takes advantage of a critical approach to notions of time (linear and sequential), offering multiple readings of the present condition, considering not only distorted notion of past but also the role of silences, memory and nostalgia.

The magazine is interested in contemplating imaginative processes of black artists from the African continent and diaspora, paying special attention to how this imaginative processes are crafting a future otherwise. Our curatorial practice is trying to understand what is the required labour to give birth to a liberated futures.
