In tonight's talk at the ICA, distinguished art curators discuss the trends in their craft over the past 50 years. In post-war Britain, forward-looking art institutions were presented with the mammoth challenge of guiding culture away from stuffy colonialist attitudes and toward the unbiased presentation of art from other cultures. Curators including Paul Domela, programme director of the Liverpool Biennial, and Andrea Rose, director of visual arts at the British Council, address the challenges of exhibiting multicultural work, and debate the effects of imperialistic attitudes on such endeavours.
