Second Saturday: CURATING OTHER-WORLDS
Saturday, May 13: 1-2:30 Eastern / 12 Central / 11 Mountain / 12 Pacific
with Susuana Amoah aka The Black Gallerina

Susuana will be presenting an overview of her doctoral research which explores how cultural equity can be realised in public contemporary art galleries through decolonial approaches to curatorial practice. Through this project, Susuana created an educational online video series called “Colour with me”, where she discusses decolonial theories, curatorial practices and experiences of inequity in UK contemporary art galleries. This practice-led research project ultimately aims to develop an ethical framework and guidance for more equitable gallery spaces.
