Abstract
The Nigerian-born Okwui Enwezor is undoubtedly one of the major curators of and thinkers about art in the world today. His 2002 exhibition DOCUMENTA 11—which took up such topics as democracy, truth and reconciliation, creolisation, and the fate of four African cities—has been endlessly discussed and imitated. A show not only about the idea of the world but also introducing a new ‘global’ style of art, it is widely understood to be one of the defining ‘global’ art exhibitions. Enwezor is also known for curating a series of ground-breaking exhibitions of African art and for founding and editing NKA: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ART, published by the African Studies Center at New York's Cornell University. Enwezor was kind enough to grant us an interview on 26 July 2008, when he was in Sydney as a guest of the Biennale of Sydney.
