We are pleased to welcome the collective Rencontres Plurielles back to City SALTS. Building on their performance All that you change during our summer festival in Art Basel week, Magali Dougoud and Orakle Ngoy will present Bobogwani nde solo (The only lasting truth is change) in collaboration with Koko Lema Diandandila in our Wassertank. This exhibition will showcase their research into collective rituals and the discovery of colonial ghosts in plants and botanical gardens in Kinshasa and Kisantu. Continuing our institution's tradition of collaborating with artists from the Democratic Republic of Congo and exploring environmental themes, the exhibition will open with a concert performance by Orakle Ngoy.

SALTS’ fall program 2024 is made possible through the generous support of the Abteilung Kulturförderung Kanton Baselland, Oertli-Stiftung, Pro Helvetia, Artlink, Afrokaana (both Bobogwani Nde Solo), Kanton Graubünden, Boner Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur, Stiftung Anne-Marie Schindler (all Haus Gawaling), and Kompotoi.
