Since 2018 Marta Pellerini, Visual Art Residency and Programme Curator has been organised different series of talks, taking place in the BSR Lecture Theatre. Selected artists, curators and art critics were asked to talk about their research in relation to some fundamental topics: gender, justice, decoloniality or materiality.

Talks from Lockdown

This is a series of ongoing talks that begun in Spring 2020 with a focus on viruses of the body and of the mind, and notions of transmission and cultural contamination. When the Black Lives Matter movement came to the fore in June 2020, the series changed its shape, taking a direction that is different only at first glance. It takes as it main theme issues of colonialism and decolonisation within institutions and museums.
