KUNA MENDE KWENYE MASHINE (There’s a Bug in the Machine) is the third exhibition in the Art Exchange: Moving Image series. Curated by Jesse Gerard Mpango, a founding member of Ajabu Ajabu—a multimedia curatorial collective based in Dar es Salaam—the exhibition invites visitors to reconsider the rhythms of creation and circulation, offering exploration of an alternative history and genealogy of moving image. It seeks to evoke new perspectives on the diverse narratives and histories surrounding the medium, encouraging a speculative engagement with its evolving role and resonance.

In September 2023, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński (b. 1980, Vienna) arrived in Lagos to begin her research-focused residency at Yinka Shonibare’s Guest Artist Space (G.A.S.) Foundation after being awarded the inaugural Access ART X Prize in the category Nigeria/Diaspora. This residency marked a significant moment in her artistic practice, as Lagos's vibrant, kinetic energy brought Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński closer to the traditions of Yoruba cosmology and language as well as West African studio photography.
