Shade Shorts on curation with Péjú Oshin
Manage episode 358008760 series 2558475
Associate Director Gagosian Gallery.
Péjú Oshin is the Associate Director of Gagosian Gallery and curator of Rites of Passage the exhibition featuring work by nineteen contemporary artists who share a history of migration.
Rites of Passage explores the idea of “liminal space,” a coinage of anthropologist Arnold van Gennep (1873–1957). It is structured in correspondence with liminality’s three stages: separation, transition, and return. Each of these phases addresses the act of movement, not only through individual experience, but also in the broader context of community. The exhibition examines the status of postcolonial Black identity, specifically the “triple consciousness” experienced by members of the African diaspora when encountering counterparts who identify with local majority populations.
Péjú shares the personal and professional journey behind curating this exhibition, plus the impact and legacy of BLM 2020 on her previous role as Curator of Young People's Programmes at Tate and beyond. We round up exploring the visible public positioning of a curator and how the contemporary media landscape informs working practices.
