“Errantry is a poetics.” — Édouard Glissant
Unit’s inaugural presentation during the 60th Venice Biennale, In Praise of Black Errantry, opens in two weeks time. Featuring 19 Afro-diasporic artists, the show celebrates the Black radical imagination and traces the way errantry as a counter discourse has underpinned the emergence of Black modernism.

Martinique-born French writer and philosopher Édouard Glissant (1928–2011) proposed errantry as a form of freedom and resistance, evoking a spiritual or purposeful wandering beyond national borders or the limits of exile. Errantry infers fugitivity as well as improvisation, underlying the dissonance of jazz, the politics of refusal, and ultimately, revolution.

Curated by Indie A. Choudhury (The Courtauld Institute of Art, London), the exhibition takes errantry as a radical strategy that defies boundaries, advocating spontaneous experimentation beyond cultural fixity or political containment. Spanning different themes, the exhibition considers how artists have refuted conventional codes of representation or pushed against the constraints of formal rules of style, colour, medium, or genre.
