Hassan Hajjaj | A World in Common | C/O Berlin

Hassan Hajjaj participates in ‘A World in Common,’ a group exhibition at C/O Berlin in Berlin, Germany, curated by Osei Bonsu, curator of international art at Tate Modern, and Cale Garrido, guest curator at the C/O Berlin Foundation.

 

On view from 1 February until 7 May 2025.

 

‘A World in Common’ presents twenty-three African and African diaspora artists from different generations and geographical contexts. Inspired by Africa’s rich cultures and its current sociopolitical landscape, the exhibition refers to the philosophy of Cameroonian scholar Achille Mbembe, who calls for us to imagine “a world in common” by “thinking the world from Africa.”

 

Over one hundred works challenge the western-oriented conception of the world, exploring alternative historical narratives that are deeply rooted in the diverse experiences, philosophies, and knowledge systems of the African continent.
