<p>The exhibition also includes works from Modisakeng's 2017 series <em>Passage</em>, which debuted during the 2017 Venice Biennale. It's described as "a meditation on slavery's dismemberment of African identity and its enduring erasure of personal histories." </p><p>More broadly Modisakeng's work addresses "race, forced migration, the deep divides of post-apartheid South Africa, the post-colonial African continent, and the Global Black Diaspora as a whole" and has previously graced several shows and institutions, including the South African National Gallery, the Dak'Art Biennale and more. His statue honoring <strong>Nelson Mandela</strong> is set to be unveiled later this year at the Nelson Mandela Park in Amsterdam.</p><p><div class="dfp_atf-slot" data-not-loaded="true"></div><script type="text/javascript">
