Curating Through an Anthropological Lens

About the talk

The curator of the fourth Larnaca Biennale, Along Lines and Traces, explores the intersections of curating and anthropology. Through the six themes of text, territory, textile, touch, tune and time, the talk considers how research, writing and sensory experience connect art with shared cultural meaning.
