Exploring "Nzela yako zuka te" at Espacio Marzana in Bilbao
Espacio Marzana, the contemporary art gallery situated along the Bilbao Estuary, presents the exhibition "Nzela yako zuka te" by artist Ritha Thende Mingomba. For visitors interested in current artistic practice and thought-provoking gallery presentations in the area, this exhibition offers a distinct poetic immersion into lived experiences of migration.
Understanding the Exhibition and Visitor Experience
Originally initiated as a performative work within the research and activism project (De)construyendo el museo—part of the Escuela Pertubable II program coordinated by Julia Cabrera—the project has evolved through presentations in other cultural spaces before arriving at the gallery in Bilbao.
The exhibition centers on themes of displacement, mental health, and decoloniality. The title translates from the artist's mother tongue as "the road to nowhere." Through the recitation of verses written originally in various African languages, the presentation engages visitors with the emotional complexities and transformations inherent in migration processes.
