‘My African Mind’

The Angolan artist and provocateur Nastio Mosquito’s striking, new, animated film, “My African Mind,” recently described by Frieze magazine’s correspondent “… perhaps the most powerful piece [exhibited at] the [2010 São Paulo] Biennial.” The film “… uses archival footage from the history of Africa, it speaks, with frequent irreverent humour, about the continent’s disasters, conflicts and successes from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. The pace at which the images fly across the screen is exhilarating, even though the content is often disheartening.”
