Apollo, one of the oldest and most respected visual art publications internationally, selected our very own Jim as one of 10 African artists for their 40 under 40 list last year (more on that here, and find the full list of African honorees here)! This coming Monday, Jim will take part in an Apollo 40 under 40 Africa event titled ‘History in the Making’, exploring the question ‘How has historic art influenced and shaped the ways contemporary art is made and viewed?’ Jim will be in conversation with two fellow 40 under 40 cultural practitioners: Ibrahim Mahama, artist and founder of Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art; and Rakeb Sile, gallerist and co-founder and director of Addis Fine Art.

Catch Jim, Ibrahim and Rakeb this Monday, 25th January 2021 at 8pm EAT for this dynamic online discussion. Register for the event here!
