René Tavares connected Tchiloli with migration and collective memory

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In a 2020 interview with ART AFRICA, René Tavares discussed how São Tomé and Príncipe’s Tchiloli theatre tradition informed Migrations and Things. Working across painting, drawing and photography, he linked the movement of people and objects with cultural exchange, colonial histories and changing identities. Tavares described memory and heritage as active forces in contemporary life, connecting these concerns with his participation in This Is Not a White Cube’s programme.
