Join us on Wednesday 30th October, 6 – 7:30pm, for a tour of Auto Italia’s exhibition, Salesman of Revolt, by Senegalese-Mauritian artist and filmmaker Hamedine Kane.

This tour, led by Auto Italia’s curators, will provide an in-depth look at Kane’s body of work, including the site-specific installation Trois Américains à Paris (2024) and the series Salesman of Revolt (2018). It will delve into Kane’s ongoing research into often overlooked experiences of exile and migration, how his work challenges dominant postcolonial understandings of borders and racialised identities, and the significance of site-specific installations.

This will be an interactive space for members to engage critically with these themes and share perspectives.

This event is free to attend and will be held at Auto Italia. Please register here or email info@artworkassociation.org
