THE BANQUET: An Afro-Asia Futurist Feast

THE BANQUET: An Afro-Asia Futurist Feast

encompasses Tao Leigh Goffe’s multi-media art practice that explores what will grow from the ruins of the collapse of capitalism. The title of Goffe’s installation draws from a manifesto, which envisions the future of the Global Majority. Celebrating Third Worldism and movements of decolonization during the 1950s, the installation stages a futuristic vision of anti-imperialist coalition-building, gathered around a banquet table. Reflecting on the Asian-African Conference in 1955 from a feminist lens, Goffe centers  the labor and nourishment of Bandung to imagine a sovereign future for the Darker Nations.
