Curating Collections commissions disabled artists to curate projects with artworks from an established international collection.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOver several weeks in late 2022 and early 2023, Sally Hirst connected with Mia Tjahjadi over Zoom, to find out more about her family\u2019s art collection (built up over many years) and consisting of works made by artists in Indonesia. Mia has set up GULA Art Space to properly document and showcase some of her family\u2019s art collection.<\/p>\n

After hearing about Sally\u2019s interests in local culture and history, women artists, and animals, Mia spent time using this knowledge to source artwork from the collection, to share with Sally based on these interests. Finally, after several weeks of sharing a variety of artworks from Mia, Sally narrowed down her selection to ten artworks. During this process, Sally also began audio describing the artworks in her own unique way, with poetry.<\/p>\n

Sally\u2019s reasons for selecting these particular artists and artworks have really intrigued us all, as she has related many of them back to the four elements: fire, air, earth and water. This idea encouraged me to look at the works in a different light, from a concept that would not have initially sprung to mind. This is what Art et al. love about our Curating Collections programme \u2013 it constantly surprises both us and the collectors, the way that the studio-based artists select and group together artworks. Long may we be able to foster more collaborations like this.\u201d \u2013 Jennifer Gilbert, co-Founder Art et al.<\/p>\n

This project is part of Art et al. X Ketemu, which is funded by the British Council as part of their International Collaboration Grants.<\/p>\n
