Screening - Tate Modern Lates: Of the Act of Mending
Including: Hamedine Kane
October 27th, 2023
Selebe Yoon is pleased to announce the participation of Hamedine Kane in “Of the Act of Mending” as part of Tate Lates Screening at Tate Modern in London.
This program will include short films by Rahima Gambo, Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, Ayesha Hameed and Hamedine Kane that explore different gestures towards mending and healing through walk. The works tap into our ability to measure scale, movement and time, and investigate notions of borders, displacement and resilience. The screening is followed by a Q&A with the artists.
Hamedine Kane will present his short film “In the Shadow of Our Ghosts” made in collaboration with Ayesha Hameed.
About “In the Shadow of Our Ghosts”
À l’ombre de nos fantômes [In the Shadow of Our Ghosts] assembles notes on a film to be made or an essay still to be written. On 29 April 2006, a boat with eleven dead bodies on board was spotted off the south-east coast of Barbados in the Caribbean. The ghost ship drifted for four months on the Atlantic Ocean with migrants from Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, and Gambia on board who had set off from the Cape Verde Islands to reach the Canary Islands. The film draws on the information currently available to try and make sense of the interplay between weather conditions, ocean currents, and state violence and their influence on the boat's course. A second series of shots brings together a walker and his shadow, which in turn confronts him and accompanies him through both desertscapes and urban spaces.
