Contemporary Art And Art Theory Of Africa And Asia At Soas...

Frantz Fanon discusses collective catharsis, â€Å"In every society, in every community, there exists, must exist, a channel, an outlet whereby the energy accumulated in the form of aggressiveness can be released.†This is the inspiration for my curatorial practice. As a curator, community organizer, first generation Caribbean-American and New York City native, my curatorial work seeks to foster resistance and empowerment with oppressed communities. I seek to do this by cultivating spaces for collective catharsis and critical discourse, becoming the catalyst for radical action. A passion for Justice by every means necessary is at the root of my desire to study Contemporary Art and Art Theory of Africa and Asia at SOAS. Art is one of global society’s most fluid tools for justice and equity. Working as an Arts Administrator for the Bronx Council on the Arts, I’ve further realized the significance the arts have historically had and continue to have as ancillary support for failing institutions. This is of utmost importance to me because I am interested in the many ways art forms and art objects have been used historically in African cultures to solve conflicts or answer questions. As well as how Contemporary African art (of the diaspora and the continent) can be used to solve the conflicts of today, and lead to liberatory futures for the Africans of all nations.
