About this event
As part of the Shifting the Centre: Grenada as Reference exhibition, International Curators Forum (ICF) invites you to their in-person Curator Talk and weekly in-person Reading Group at Black Cultural Archives.
CURATOR TALK – THURSDAY 27 APRIL @ 6:30-8PM
Join us for an open and informal conversation between yourselves and Shifting the Centre’s Curator, Orsod Malik. We’ll discuss the exhibition, curating ‘the archive’, and how anti-colonial thought might be applied to artistic, teaching, and organising work today.
