In case you missed it—Jonah Batambuze’s Art Basel debut is featured in today’s ArtAfrica.

“The Table Remembers: Jonah Batambuze on Ritual, Refusal, and the Left Hand”
[https://artafricamagazine.org/the-table-remembers-jonah-batambuze-on-ritual-refusal-and-the-left-hand/]

At a fair often defined by spectacle, Jonah’s installation The Hands of Gods offers something radically different: a sensory, ritual-based encounter rooted in food, memory, and the politics of the “wrong” hand.

The piece explores:
– How food becomes both altar and archive
– Left-handedness as a site of rupture and resistance
– Creating outside the MFA and institutional systems
– The diasporic table as a structure of remembering

The Hands of Gods is on view at Art Basel (June 18–22) as part of the group exhibition Wild at Art at Atelier Mondial in Basel, Switzerland.

Left-handedness has been called everything from a curse to a creative edge. (I see you, Oprah! Hey, Barack Obama!) What have you been taught — or unlearned — about being left-handed?
