About

‘Insistent Presences’, Ginwala presented a series of slides which showed art works which were displayed at exhibitions in various parts of the world. Ginwala discusses her beliefs regarding the tasks of curators and how curators should listen deeply to what has been simmering beneath and amongst us in the art world. During recent, trying times Ginwala discusses how people are the infrastructure to mobilised cultures. She mentions artists composing the ‘Insistent Presences’ which enables plural visions, scores and maps that allow readings beyond individualist and censored relations to the disjointed present. Ginwala articulates the lack of museums and collection-based institutions, where culture organisations are chorus to their circumstances and how more relevant organisations transform with changing times.
