Talk

Artists Theresa Weber & Matheus Marques Abu in conversation with Curator Eleri Fanshawe

1 Jun 2024 11am-12.30pm

October Gallery

London WC1N 3AL

Overview

Through multi-disciplinary installations and collaborative performances, Theresa Weber seeks to question existing power hierarchies and fixed categorisations. Her works often refer to existing mythologies and historical research fields, which are communicated through dense collages and sculptural networks.

The paintings of Matheus Marques Abu are influenced by his ancestry, spirituality and the daily lives of those of the African diaspora in Brazil. His work reveals a personal perspective on colonial history and its reverberations in the daily lives of Black people. The talk takes place on the gallery’s ground floor and has disabled access.
