ArtReview and Ursula magazine have announced a collaborative talk featuring curators Hammad Nasar and Billy Tang as part of their "Off the Record" series in London. The event, held at the Farm Shop in Mayfair, is designed as an intimate, live conversation focused on the working methods and inspirations of creative visionaries. Nasar, a veteran curator and MBE recipient, will join Tang, the Artistic Director of the new Yan Du Project, to discuss their respective practices and the evolution of creative thinking.
This event highlights a growing trend of "traditional conviviality" in the art world, prioritizing in-person, unrecorded dialogue over digital streaming. By bringing together two influential figures specializing in Asian and Asian-diaspora art, the talk underscores the ongoing institutional shift toward decolonizing art history and amplifying marginalized voices within the UK’s cultural landscape.
