Opera to a Black Venus makes reference to the Black history of resilience and resistance, and is dedicated to the entanglement between ecological collapse and colonial injustice. The new commissioned works Opera to a Black Venus (2024), a large-scale video installation, and Labyrinth (2024), a site-specific spatial installation, are at the center of the publication accompanying the exhibition. The authors Denise Ferreira da Silva (University of British Columbia, Vancouver); Tamsin Hong (Serpentine Gallery, London); and Ashish Ghadiali (Radical Ecology & Black Atlantic, London), as well as the directors of Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden Çağla Ilk and Misal Adnan Yıldız categorize Kilomba’s work along her subversive stories of memory and resilience.
