Join Ekow Eshun, the curator of our current exhibition The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure, in Conversation with Dorothy Price, the curator of the Royal Academy’s current exhibition Entangled Pasts, 1768–now: Art, Colonialism and Change.
About
Ekow and Dorothy will explore and discuss these two important exhibitions running concurrently in London and explore their significance, narratives, ambitions and the experience of working with contemporary artists.
Ekow will reflect on his curatorial approach to The Time is Always Now, drawing on its central themes and its showcase of contemporary artists including Michael Armitage, Lubaina Himid, Kerry James Marshall, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Amy Sherald. Dorothy Price will reflect on her collaborative curation of Entangled Pasts, 1768–now: Art, Colonialism and Change exploring the conversations between historic and contemporary works. Together they will reflect on what these two exhibitions in London signify and why now.
