Join Black Curatorial and ICF for a lunchtime curator’s tour of Shifting the Centre: Anticolonial Ways of Seeing, an exhibition presented by ICF and iniva, with curator Orsod Malik.
Thursday 5 October, 1-2:30pm
iniva, 16 John Islip St, London SW1P 4JU
During the tour, Orsod will share insights into his curatorial approach for ICF’s Shifting the Centre project. The exhibition Anticolonial Ways of Seeing marks the second iteration, following on from the exhibition Grenada as Reference at Black Cultural Archives earlier this year.
The exhibition will place publications from the Stuart Hall Library into dialogue with a variety of materials found in iniva’s archive collection to build a series of constellations in the Stuart Hall Library space.
Shifting the Centre is International Curators Forum’s archival activation project dedicated to excavating the radical observations, emancipatory dreams, and revolutionary practices of anticolonial thinkers to develop counter approaches by asking: what kinds of ideas emerge when those resisting dominant forces are the protagonists of world history?
Shifting the Centre: Anticolonial Ways of Seeing runs until 12 January 2024.
Please note this tour is specifically for those of African-Caribbean heritage or of Mixed Black heritage who identify as Black.
Orsod Malik is a UK-based Sudanese digital archivist, curator, writer, content producer and strategist. He is the founder of @code__switch an archive/continuum of radical internationalism. His research focuses on shifting peripheralised histories to the centre by drawing links between anticolonial struggles and thought across space and time. Orsod is the Programme Curator at the Stuart Hall Foundation, and was the 2021 Archivist-in-Resident at the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora (LOATAD).
