Interview with Valeria Geselev (former curator at GUS)
Title
Interview with Valeria Geselev (former curator at GUS)
Subject
Art as social cohesion
Description
Second interview of the RADA database. In this interview we discuss the transformative power of art within a South African university gallery. Valeria Geselev was the curator of Gallery University Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch is a town in Cape Town, and the town was a centrepiece of the Dutch colonisation and apartheid that followed. Today Stellenbosch is still a divided town: geographically, economically and racially. In this context Valeria discusses how her practice promotes art as a tool for social cohesion and we talk a bit about decolonisation and confronting history.
