Curatorial duo

Re-examining traditional perceptions of knowledge, collections, power structures, history and representation as starting points for crucial dialogue. Alternative voices, perceptions and thoughts are woven into existing narratives, challenging the archives.

Using art and exhibitions as tools to create infrastructure and contact zones, a term coined by Marie Louise Pratt. By allowing both contact and contradictions, our aim is to build spaces for continuous negotiations, working through conflict.

Organise and facilitate publics to appropriate the exhibition spaces not just to be represented (not “about” something but about “doing”). Understanding counter-publics as a subset of publics that stand in conscientious opposition to a dominant ideology and strategically subvert that ideology’s construction in public discourse.

Inspired by the efforts of Temi Odumosu and Nicholas Mirzoeff to supply a critical charge to knowledge production. Using art as a tool to interrogate, dissect, and reconstruct histories. It’s not just about representing the overlooked, but also about engendering a profound dialogue that reevaluates and repositions knowledge within contemporary art discourses.

Taking cues from Chantal Mouffe and Nora Sternfeld's critique of pedagogy, we push for methodologies that decentralize traditional authoritative structures, enabling more participatory, dynamic, and critically aware educational experiences.
