Notes on Friendship: Breaking Bread explores friendship as a dynamic space for dialogue, critique, and support. It offers a platform where shared histories and present-day realities intersect, opening up new possibilities for connection and collaboration. This flexible idea of friendship allows artists to form relationships on their own terms, encouraging mutual exploration and creative engagement.
​
Framed as a "lost tape" rediscovered in African history, Notes on Friendship: Breaking Bread reimagines hosting and hospitality as acts of political and artistic significance featuring 21 artists from East and West Africa.
​
Bringing together artists from different generations and working across both traditional and contemporary media—painting, drawing, sculpture, film, and video—the exhibition presents a rich, layered conversation around identity, history, and aspiration. It invites audiences into a shared space of artistic vision and cross-cultural exchange.
