“(thanksthanksafrica) inc. supports and expands artistic enquiries in matters relating to the relationship between the continent of Africa and the country of China. Including all their relations such as other ‘involving’ countries. We maintain that our epithet (THANKSTHANKSAFRICA) Inc. may be written completely in capitals or completely in small letters but never mixed, with or without the inc. (thanksthanksafrica) inc. is both entity and ‘collective’. Our existence as entity is a cultural hybrid of the name ‘XiexieFeizhou’ (meaning in Chinese ThanksThanksAfrica). As collective, we aim to include anyone who cares to join us, after all, like we said, the conceit of ‘Other’ is over. Everyone is Another.”
