Globalisto: Unifying the Seen and the Unseen

Season 1 · Episode 3

Saturday, December 6, 2025 • Duration 57:50

Rooted in his curatorial vision Globalisto, South African artist, musician, and theorist Ntshepe Tsekere Bopape (Mo Laudi) hosts this compelling conversation with participating artists of Africa Basel and Ibrahim Mohama. Globalisto offers both a poetic and political response to Western-centred frameworks—championing decolonial thinking, multiplicity of voices, and global dialogue through artistic practice.

In this episode of Africa Basel Conversations, Mo Laudi explores themes of belonging, migration, and cultural hybridity in conversation with artists whose work navigates the intersections of global entanglement and African realities. Together, they reflect on the role of art in making visible what is often unseen—be it memory, history, or identity—and on how creativity becomes a space for reclaiming narratives and forging new solidarities.

Guests:

Alexis Peskine – Visual artist known for powerful portraits exploring diaspora and identity
Helen Nzete – Multidisciplinary artist engaging with memory and the body
Ibrahim Mahama – Ghanaian artist whose large-scale installations address labour, trade, and post-colonial histories

Moderated by:

Ntshepe Tsekere Bopape (Mo Laudi) – Artist, musician, curator, and founder of the Globalisto platform

Beyond the Canon: Diaspora, Creativity, and Cultural Power

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 59:27

A new generation of creatives of African descent is reshaping Switzerland’s cultural landscape—challenging conventions through bold aesthetics, critical inquiry, and fresh perspectives rooted in diasporic experience.

In this dynamic episode of Africa Basel Conversations, moderator Keabetswe Boccomino of Afrinova brings together voices from across the African diaspora in Switzerland and Europe. Working across design, sound, research, and visual culture, the panellists explore how diasporic artists reclaim space, resist dominant narratives, and establish new paradigms of artistic excellence.

From reimagining heritage to confronting socio-political structures, this conversation delves into the power of creativity as cultural resistance and affirmation. These practitioners are not only shaping their immediate communities—they are emerging as influential contributors to the global art discourse.

Guests:

Tracy September – Artist and cultural practitioner
Joshua Amissah – Multidisciplinary designer and researcher
Sinzo Aanza – Writer, artist, and political commentator

Moderated by:

Keabetswe Boccomino – Curator, cultural producer, and founder of Afrinova
