Join UNSW Art & Design Research Forum for this talk and conversation with curator and art historian, Francisco Godoy Vega.

Francisco is visiting Sydney as part of Colectivo Ayllu for the 2020 Biennale of Sydney, exhibiting at Artspace.

In addition to his work with Colectivo Ayllu, Francisco is a leading voice in decolonial exhibition histories, with a focus on Latin America. 

About the lecture:
Through the analysis of exhibition projects carried out in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this talk aims to address the cross between explicit colonial exhibitions and later camouflage systems of the perpetuation of white supremacy through exhibitions of multiculturalism or solidarity with the global South. Recognizing the geopolitical structure of the art system, particularly the position of the European system, allows us to recognize how it has generated different strategies to perpetuate the white supremacy of the notion of art itself as a Westernizing apparatus of the visual and cultural productions of non-Western societies. 

WHEN: MONDAY 9 MARCH
WHERE: BLACK BOX, UNSW ART & DESIGN
ADDRESS: CNR OF OXFORD ST & GREENS RD, PADDINGTON NSW 2021
