Listen to, look carefully and move through contentious spaces by collecting the residues from the past and re-membering them, as a way to regenerate in the future.
This pre-opening Artist and Curator Discussion is an introduction to the exhibition, re-member. Join exhibition curator Caitlin Fargher and exhibiting artists Selena de Carvalho, Takani Clark and Georgia Morgan as they discuss the curatorial themes and their motivations in developing the presented works.
In a world where stories of destruction and repeating the same wrongs dominate, it is an act of care to foster the stories that may have been forgotten or lost. These are the stories that haunt us, the stories of family, home and who we are. To listen deeply to these stories now is to heal, and to heal is to imagine what’s next.
– Caitlin Fargher
This public program is presented through the CAT Curatorial Mentorship program.
