Stefano e Maddalena Boeri ricordano Okwui Enwezor

Stefano and Maddalena Boeri reflect on Okwui Enwezor, emphasizing his laughter as a unique blend of seriousness and irony. They recall how this laughter marked the conclusion of preparatory meetings for Documenta11 in Kassel in 2000, attended by Angelika Nollert, Ute Meta Bauer, Carlos Basualdo, Sarat Maharaj, and Mark Nash. In 2004, he provided commentary on Hans Ulrich Obrist's interviews at the Biennale di Dakar. His inaugural visit to the Haus der Kunst in Munich took place in February 2011. During the summer of 2014, he engaged in discussions about Karl Marx and Capital on La Maddalena island with Louise and the group The Tomorrow, in anticipation of the Venice Biennale. Recently, in a final phone call, he welcomed the collaboration of the Triennale di Milano and Haus der Kulturen der Welt on his archives. According to the Boeris, Enwezor's laughter added depth to projects and individuals, showcasing his humanity and his impact on the anthropology of global culture over the past fifty years.
