“When we gather together in the moonlit village

“When we gather together in the moonlit village ground, it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.” — Chinua Achebe

Hello Monday!

The Invisible Borders artist of the week is Gloyer Matala @gloyermatala , a photographer and a filmmaker. He is a former participant of the Invisible Borders Trans-African Project Road Trip.

The young and talented artist shared with us his experience and learnings from the Road trip.

Read below:

IB: What lessons, observations did you learn from your invited participation in the Invisible Borders project?

GM: After my first experience in immersing myself in the challenge of the 4th edition with Invisible Borders, I realized that there was something in me, that there was something beyond my borders.

I remember it very well, it was in 2012, when I had the opportunity to visit more than two African countries in a van, it was an enriching experience, especially in traveling with a group of strangers, those strangers that my travel companions arrived as they had something that united us. That something is the (VISUAL ART)
I am one of those who continue to support the theory of the school of life, you always learn. If today I am a photographer it is thanks to the great experience with Invisible Borders, with the group in general I learned how to tell a story with the images, I learned and lived that there is another reality beyond my borders.

To be more direct, the most important thing in that experience is what I have become, in a photographer.

IB: Do you think that your participation had an impact on your thinking, the ideology that inhabits your work? If so, in what way (s)?

GM: In reality, my vision changed a lot after my experience with Invisible Borders, especially in the way of focusing the works and how it gives better visibility.

IB: What projects are you currently working on?

GM: Today I am involved in several projects, among these projects most are film projects because I also like cinema, but I do not leave photography behind either. Now I am working in the traditional dance of my ethnic group, and also in another photo and story project from Spain.

Hello Monday!

The Invisible Borders artist of the week is Wilifried Nakeu a multidisciplinary artist involved in new media, photography, slam poetry and music. He is a former participant of the Invisible Borders Trans-African Project Road Trip.

The young and talented artist shared with us his experience and learnings from the Road trip.

Read below:

IB: What lessons, observations did you learn from your invited participation in the Invisible Borders project?

WN: For my participation in the invisible borders project, I did not feel excluded from the group. We were a family and the result of the work carried out in the field was a real process of archiving and anthropology both artistic and educational because we were able to reach out to others.

IB: Do you think that your participation had an impact on your thinking, the ideology that inhabits your work? If so, in what way (s)?

WN: For me, art we do not only do for ourselves but for others. It is important that our works nourish and grow the human.
I couldn't have left the Invisible Borders Road trip and not have gained anything logical. I was very inspired on the methodology with which the project defended the thoughts and our different points of view, a work of anthropology of art on society beyond
