About the Artist: Upon receiving the invitation to exhibit his recent work at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center of Miami in ANCESTOR, Kiro Urdin, a Macedonian artist and filmmaker, decided to revisit his unique and personal artistic and human journey with the continent. In this introspective and poetic show, the artist explores his memories and recordings of images captured along a thirty-year relationship with Africa as experienced by his numerous travels to Mali, Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, and Nigeria, but most of all through his recurring stays in Tanzania, where he directed several experimental films over the past two decades. Urdin’s relationship with Africa goes deep and beyond, in the sense that it triggered a fundamental research about origin and universality in both his work and philosophy.
