About the Event: How can we understand curating as a spatial practice? In this Curator’s Perspective talk, Paula Nascimento—an architect, independent curator, and 2022 ICI Curatorial Research Fellow, currently based in Luanda, Angola—discusses her approach to curating as a geopolitical exercise. Addressing projects that span her career, including her work on the groundbreaking Angolan Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale as well as several ongoing artist projects, Nascimento will explore how notions of space and territory, as well as an interdisciplinary and collaborative sensibility, inform her practice.

Following the talk, Nascimento will be joined by curator Tumelo Mosaka to continue the conversation. Mosaka is a Johannesburg-born and New York City-based independent curator, and is also the Mellon Project Director in African American and African Diaspora Studies at Columbia University. Mosaka’s interests span numerous global transnational artistic practices working within and outside museums with artists from Africa, the Caribbean, and North America.
