#anamendieta #curators #exhibitions #feminism Exhibition Discussions! Biography enlightens the work of an artist but, in rare occasions, it can obliterate it. A polemic curatorial choice in Ana Mendieta's exhibition at Tate Modern illustrates this puzzling question. This unexpected curatorial twist may lean into anti-feminism if we stay on the surface of the discourse. Dive into it with our host Joana P. R. Neves, a curator and an art writer. What decision did Valentina Umansky and Michael Wellen, the curators of the show make, and w...

#contemporaryart #artistinterviews #textileart #tejedoras #indigenousknowledge What if weaving released untold stories? And how does textile art with such narrative yet abstract powers fit into contemporary art and its traditionally European systems? Joana’s conversation with contemporary artist Paula do Prado takes unexpected turns and spreads across at least 3 different continents–if not more. What influence did the lost language of the Charrúa people and her Uruguayan past and lineage have on her work? Or, rather, is it even possi...

Are you changing? Is Summer itself changing? Or is it tricking us into thinking that we're in a creative flow when, really. there is no such thing? Summer is the season of creativity, hypersensitivity, love, poetry, art. But is this a capitalist illusion? Or are we preparing for the change about to come, where our pleasure will be elsewhere and dangers come from what sued to be and is no more? Did you enjoy the episode?
