Can art be a tool for repair? And what happens when exhibitions themselves move across borders?In this episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson dives into the relationship between art, architecture, and place — and how both disciplines are being used to challenge colonial narratives, spark dialogue, and imagine alternative futures.Christine is joined by writer, artist and curator Rosie Olang' Odhiambo, who speaks about her collaborative, cross-disciplinary practice and her recent exhibition, In Transit: Under Another Sky, which she co-curated with E.N. Mirembe. First shown in Kampala and Nairobi, and soon opening at the Africa Centre in London, the exhibition weaves together sound, image, and text to explore transience, marginal identities, and shifting geographies.We also hear from Kabage Karanja, an architect and co-founder of Nairobi's cave_bureau. Speaking from the British Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Kabage reflects on using caves as sites of cultural memory and of decolonial storytelling and his bold vision for architecture as a force of geological repair.Together, Rosie and Kabage explore what it means to tell stories of place, migration, and resistance — and how visual arts and architecture can both reflect and reshape the world we live in.Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

Dr Breann Fallon, Head of Programming and Exhibitions at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, unveils ‘Aftershocks: Nolan and the Holocaust', an exhibition featuring a rarely seen series by renowned Australian artist Sir Sidney Nolan.

The curator of a new exhibition here in Paris on artificial intelligence has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the technology's wonders, but also its dangers. The exhibition at the Musée du Jeu de Paume in the Tuileries Gardens in central Paris uses art to tell the story of AI through the ages, with a series of exhibits and artistic works. The exhibition also aims to show the distinction between analytical AI, such as facial recognition; and generative AI, which is more creative. We spoke to chief curator Antonio Somaini in Perspective.

A new exhibition in Paris is shining a light on the rich cultural history of Gaza, with artwork and artefacts which tell the story of the Palestinian enclave's unique melting pot. Featuring classical sculpture, ancient mosaics and archaeological finds, the Arab World Institute hopes that "Saved Treasures from Gaza" will paint a more complete picture of the region's history as a commercial crossroads between Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, Katy Perry's stardom reaches new heights as the American pop star joins the all-female team participating in the Blue Origin flight into space.

A conversation with painter Kylie Manning about her latest exhibit, There is something that stays, on view at Pace Gallery's West 25th Street locations in New York through April 19. Known for her sweeping, atmospheric canvases that merge representation with abstraction, Manning's work evokes a sense of movement, memory, and emotional resonance. In the conversation, we discuss the inspiration behind the new body of work and her evolving relationship with color and form.https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/kylie-manning-there-is-something-that-stays/http://www.kyliemanning.com/https://www.pacegallery.com/artists/kylie-manning/

Paris's status as a cosmopolitan hub for artists from all over the world was forged in the 20th century, particularly in the postwar period, when it was seen as a beacon for Black artists and intellectuals fleeing colonisation, racism and segregation in their countries of origin. The "Paris Noir" exhibition at Paris's Pompidou Centre is now exploring that pivotal moment when the French capital served as a crossroads for the major Black figures who were debating and designing a post-colonial future. The show features 350 works by 150 artists of African heritage – many of whom have been historically sidelined or forgotten – in an attempt to re-write these "unrecognised and fundamental" contributions into a more complete history of art. In this programme, we meet American musician and composer Josiah Woodson, whose move to Paris 12 years ago broadened his artistic horizons, collaborating with artists from West Africa and the Caribbean. He tells us why author James Baldwin was a "major poetic and ideological inspiration" in his own trajectory, and why stepping into the footsteps of legendary trumpet players like Miles Davis was an important part of his transatlantic shift. Author and journalist Yasmina Jaafar explains why African Americans, in particular, chose Paris in the context of 1940s geopolitics and cultural trends.The growing popularity of jazz was one of the major draws for the many Black musicians who performed in Paris in the post-war years. One of the key venues in that effervescent scene was Le Bal Blomet: established in 1924, it is the oldest jazz club continuously operating in Europe today. Its director, Guillaume Cornut, tells us how the local Martinican community would organise informal concerts and gatherings in the 1920s, which gave rise to its nickname "Le Bal Nègre", and how the dancehall became renowned for the diversity of the music on offer.Historian Ludovic Tournès explains how differing attitudes to jazz in the United States and Europe meant that many African American musicians were keen to pursue their careers in Paris, where audiences and music industry figures demonstrated a respect and appreciation for the art form that stood in stark contrast to the reception many of these performers got in the segregated states of the American South.We meet Kévi Donat, whose guided tours of "Paris Noir" reveal the Black politicians, artists and writers who have been integral to the history of both Paris and France, but who have not always gone down in history to become household names. Kévi shines a light on some of the racist struggles that even a celebrated author like Alexandre Dumas came up against, and how a conference at the Sorbonne in 1956 distilled the growing consciousness of a "Panafrican" movement, uniting various Black communities on three continents.Artist Valérie John tells us why leaving her island of Martinique was a pre-requisite in the 1980s as she pursued her studies at art school in Paris. Having been commissioned to create a site-specific installation for the "Paris Noir" show, Valérie expands upon the concept of a Black Atlantic, and the potent symbolism this expanse of water evokes, explaining how the legacy of the slave trade has informed the Black experience in all of the colonies established at its edges.Finally, Alicia Knock, a curator of modern and contemporary art, discusses her efforts to fill a "major gap" in the Pompidou collection by putting together the "Paris Noir" exhibition and pushing for the acquisition of at least 50 of the pieces on display. She explains why the inclusion of these artworks will open a new chapter in the museum's history once it opens again in 2030, after the 50-year-old building undergoes extensive renovations.

Jill tells us about her transition from urban planning to painting later in life, initially exploring drawing classes after being a stay-at-home mom. Her artistic approach emphasizes experimentation, embracing failure, and avoiding predictable techniques, which she believes is crucial for artistic growth. She recommends emerging artists take drawing classes, work with limited palettes, and focus on embracing the process of creating art rather than fixating on the final product. She also recommends for artists to seek out other artists and build a network in the art world, which can help in terms of career and also technique. Finally, Jill tells us about her upcoming shows, including the American Society of Marine Artists' exhibition in Oregon and the Oil Painters of America National Exhibition in Florida.

This week. Dana's back? She and Duncan sit down with artist Wafaa Bilal and curator Bana Kattan to discuss Bilal's powerful and deeply personal mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Known for his provocative, often participatory works that grapple with war, trauma, displacement, and surveillance, Bilal has long made the body both a site of resistance and a vessel of memory. We talk through key moments in Bilal's practice—from early performance pieces like Domestic Tension to newer, installation-based works—and reflect on how his work has shifted, expanded, and endured over the past two decades. Kattan, who curated the exhibition, shares insights into the retrospective's structure and the challenges of contextualizing work that refuses easy categorization. While reminiscing, Duncan and Wafaa also talk through what it means to make art as a form of witnessing, how museums hold space for pain and politics, and why Bilal still believes in the power of beauty… (Spoiler: Duncan isn't sure, but Bana and Dana side with Wafaa.)

In a recent episode of Valley Today, host Janet Michael transported her listeners to the cultural heart of Berryville, Clark County, through an engaging conversation with Martha Reynolds, the Executive Director of the Barns of Rose Hill. Bridging past and present, Reynolds painted a vivid picture of the barn's dynamic offerings, from art exhibitions and concert series to educational programs. The Barns' rich calendar is brimming with events that cater to a variety of interests. Reynolds highlighted some standout exhibitions, such as the 'World of Wood' show and the collective exhibit from the Potomac River Artist Guild, showcasing beautiful still lifes and nature scenes. Additionally, the Barns will feature an exhibit by Rosa and Winton Eugene from South Carolina, renowned for their compelling pottery and masks. A Charles M. Schultz traveling exhibition is also on the horizon, celebrating Peanuts' first Black character, Franklin.

The conversation shifted to the Barns' enduring legacy as a premier music venue. With its remarkable acoustics, the Barns attract diverse musical acts, including bluegrass, Celtic, jazz, and classical guitar. Reynolds beamed with pride as she recounted how performers have likened playing at the Barns to “playing inside a guitar.” Upcoming shows include a documentary screening about esteemed guitarist Danny Gatton and an authentic Argentinian tango performance.

What if a museum were more like a laboratory? What if our exhibits were experiments? What if our galleries were more about questions, rather than answers? What if we didn't fear failure as much? What if scientists, artists, and technologists all created exhibitions together? What happens when you edit an exhibit about editing DNA? Should every project have a post-opening contingency — in addition to the normal kind? Ann Neumann (Director of Galleries and Exhibitions, MIT Museum) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “Museum as Lab.” Along the way: circadian rhythms, robots, maritime paintings, and a huge spiderweb you can play like a musical instrument.Talking Points:1.

February 2025 Here at Bletchley Park - one of the birthplaces of modern computing – our latest temporary exhibition ‘The Age of AI' has just opened. This new gallery explores the power and potential of AI in our everyday lives. From the 1930s origins of what we now call ‘artificial intelligence', to the incredible (or alarming?) potential it might bring, the exhibition explores the benefits and risks of AI in our world today. In this episode, Head of Content Erica Munro meets the team behind the exhibition's creation. Come with us on a gallery tour with Exhibitions and Interpretation Manager Tilly Davis, and hear from experts and visitors on their impressions of what AI means to them. There's also a deeper dive into the research and exhibition's case studies with Content Curator Steve Swaby. Many thanks to our contributors Dame Wendy Hall, Dr Ed Pyzer-Knapp, Professor David Leslie and our Friends of Bletchley Park exhibition preview visitors.
