Curator and choreographer Rashida Bumbray (sunrara) was introduced to Koyo Kouoh in May 2014. Kouoh, the late Cameroonian curator who served as the executive director and chief curator of Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) in Cape Town, was slated to curate the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026 before her untimely death this spring. Throughout their years-long relationship, Kouoh and Bumbray engaged in ongoing, heightened conversations about the state of the global art world, what it means to work in the parallel African and Black American art worlds, and the Pan-African crossroads where they meet.
“The moment I learned of Kouoh’s death immediately altered my perspective on my own subjectivity in Nairobi,” Bumbray writes. “One of South-South interdependence, an ethos I have also been privileged to inherit as a child of the Black radical tradition.”
