Artist and curators in conversation

Take part in a discussion on “perruquage” and the creative strategies artists use to subvert the exhibition space. You will also be invited to explore Patrick Cruz’s practice, which draws on spirituality, improvisation, and play to deconstruct contexts and colonial ideologies that shape art and the collective imagination.
