Aerolectics is the first solo show of Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński in Italy and presents newly commissioned works. Inspired by the stories of Gambra*, Schiama*, and Asue*, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński‘s exhibition provokes a confrontation with a rarely considered chapter of South Tyrolean history: the role of the Combonian missionary system in the forced displacement of almost 800 African children in German-speaking Europe.

Kazeem-Kamiński's practice is characterised by autoethnographic approaches and oscillations between artistic research and critical text and image production. Influenced by Black feminist thinkers, writers and image producers, she has developed an artistic practice that utilises the media of video, photography, performance and text to explore the polyphonic stories of the African diaspora, particularly in German-speaking countries. Her works move between documentation and fiction and question not only the presence of Black people in European historiography, but also their visibility in the physical European landscape and in public spaces.
