404 Accountability Not Found – Satirical Paintings of Bright Ackwerh Opening Reception
January 16 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for the Opening Reception of 404: Accountability Not Found in the A2AC Spotlight Gallery. Since the upsurge of the World Wide Web more than two decades ago, those searching the internet have occasionally encountered the message, “404: Page Not Found.” This visual notification often stirs frustration and disappointment. The exhibition title replaces “Page Not Found” with “Accountability Not Found,” taking a cue from this sentiment of frustration and disappointment to situate itself within the context of artistic social commentary. Through the satirical paintings of Bright Ackwerh, this exhibition offers insight into lived experiences in contemporary Africa and a visual representation of a singular yet collective response to these experiences. The exhibition explores how art can confront the global challenge of holding elected officials accountable for their actions.
