A Gallery Visit with Nana at Transplantation / NOVEMBRE GLOBAL

An ongoing conversation with Nana (also known as ‘Dérive sur le Nil’) the founder and art director of Transplantation—a platform and collection dedicated to exploring and mobilizing diasporic art and experiences primarly in francophone contexts. We spoke to her about the temporary, but poignant exhibition, “École Paris-BXL."
Transplantation is a fugitive curatorial platform and art residency project that serves as a publication/dissemination body, with ongoing collection holdings that take root in diasporic objects and practices. Nana aka Dérive sur le Nil, a 22-year-old writer and art history student, is the art director behind this project—alongside the continuous involvement with friends such as the young artist Mariama Conteh, or Ryan K., Zoé C., Tanguy N., and support of many others. Dérive sur le Nil thinks of Transplantation as experimentation pictured as a puzzle driven by her meetings, likings, and need to collaborate with others.
