Call for Submissions for the 2nd DUTA Biennial of Visual Arts

^{'Codified World' is the theme of this year's biennial. Of this codified world what is the artist's point of view? In African societies, there are visible and invisible codes, some require an initiation. How do we decipher them, how do they translate into artwork? In the era of globalisation, how is Africa integrating?
