In the spaces of Sala Farnese and the exhibition halls on the second floor of Palazzo d’Accursio in Bologna, the exhibition Les Filons Géologiques opened on 3 December 2021, collectively curated by Black History Month Bologna and Black History Month Florence, with the contribution of the Municipality of Bologna.
Les Filons Géologiques presents the work of thirteen artists who address their research to intergenerational and transnational realities, with works capable of shifting perceptions of geography and historiography as definitions and factors of contemporary practice.
Les Filons Géologiques brings together multiple generations of artists grappling with an intrinsic search for fluid pathways that break through established historical perceptions and nationalistic narratives.
The project, which takes its name from a line of Allure, a poem by the Martinican author Aimé Césaire, is realised in collaboration with The Recovery Plan, Istituzione Bologna Musei | MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna | Collezioni Comunali d’Arte, Centro Studi Amilcar Cabral, Villa Romana, Numeroventi, October Gallery, Murate Art District and Africa e Mediterraneo.
