SANDRINE:
Ikọ?
OTOBONG:
In Ibibio language it means 'word', 'to have a voice', 'to talk about matter'.
SANDRINE:
Matter? But is it cultural? Is it artistic practices? Is it of our times? Of the past?
OTOBONG:
It's everything!
SANDRINE:
So it's a shift of perception…to expand the horizon...
OTOBONG:
Yeah, that's what we're doing ... it touches rivers, land, people…
SANDRINE:
So what you mean is… it's outside the artworld, and it's within and beyond, crawling on the side.
OTOBONG:
Yes, and let's talk about bodies, materials, meanings, experiences and territories.
People from different places, multiple practices, how and where they connected.
SANDRINE:
Like conversation, music, poetry… all interconnect… inseparable.
OTOBONG:
That's Ikọ!
