Savvy Contemporary

Eight years after the inception of SAVVY Contemporary: The Laboratory of Form-Ideas, it is worth rearviewing at the agencies and ambitions, agitations and turbulences, missions and visions that led to its founding, it is worth deliberating on the beaten and unbeaten tracks we strode and stumbled upon, as well as stating the challenges of the past and the status quo, and redefining the causes and courses.
As an art space, discursive platform, eating and drinking spot, njangi house, space for conviviality SAVVY Contemporary situates itself at the threshold of notions and constructs of the West and non-West, primarily to understand and negotiate between, and obviously to deconstruct the ideologies and connotations eminent to such constructs. For this, it seems appropriate to invoke, convoke or deploy the »cosmogenic powers« of artists and artistic practice to guide us. On this journey  SAVVY Contemporary engages in what Paget Henry would call the »poetic power of artistic practice« to »un-name and re-name, to de-institute old selves and establish new ones, and to silence imposed voices and reclaim lost ones« in an effort to resolve the »crisis of entrapment.«
