Exhibition preview, Great North Musuem: Hancock, Newcastle
On behalf of D6 and the Great North Museum: Hancock, we warmly invite you to the preview of CONTESTED DESIRES: Constructive Dialogues.
The exhibition brings together artists from Africa, Europe and South America, who explore complex and interwoven themes of identity, appropriation, power and memory.
CONTESTED DESIRES is an ambitious conversation between contemporary artists and the museums, archives and communities that shape our colonial histories. It asks what are the impacts of colonial heritage today and whose stories do we hear?
Rafael Guendelman Hales (Chile), Elisabeth Efua Sutherland (Ghana), Isaac Nana Opoku (Ghana), Andreas Mallouris (Cyprus), Maria Luigia Gioffre (Italy), Patrick Ziza (UK) and Paul Nataraj (UK) bring CONTESTED DESIRES to the North East of England for a special exhibition at the Great North Museum: Hancock. By inviting us to consider new perspectives on the legacies of Europe’s colonial past, they look to the future and the choices to be made.
