Sharing ‘the other’d artist’ by Travis Alabanza (2017) ⁣// read the full post on their profile 💫 .⁣ Digging out this text from memories as it was part of the opening of The Other’d Artist/s exhibition two years ago today in Glasgow , transmission gallery. It was such a transformative experience for me. The exhibition we curated was a response to the lack of black artists showcased, and I came together with local black artists in Glasgow and wider U.K. to create an exhibition of our work. We transformed the gallery into a party space, social space, art exhibit and so much more. The opening party was lit, but more importantly I learned so much and made some rly sweet friends. I’m super glad this reminder of this work happened on my trip away, especially as I’m working on my @thisisliveart bursary right now, as it reminded me of the power and necessity of building community through art, sharing resources, and also tbh - some dope ass leadership from me. I needed a reminder of what I can do when I think critically and effectively about space and resources, turning an offer for a solo exhibition into something that I hope has been longstanding and beyond me. That’s the energy for the future. Solo — group. Never just one of us, not claiming to be the only one, resisting capital’s idea to make podiums it oppressed groups and artists. Resisting the urges people have to make exceptional individuals, Rather than exceptional communities. I’m really excited as a few projects I have coming this year are really opening up my practice to collaborations, and this excites me. It feels like I’m returning to the art and work. To being together in other’ness.⁣
