Guest Projects, Yinka Shonibare’s London residency space

Co-curated with Jean Feline and Taïs Bean

A month-long exhibition and events programme about belonging. How do you host? What does it mean to be a guest? With the global rise of nationalism, Brexit and the refugee crisis, ideas around belonging and territory are changing. It is critical to engage in cross-cultural and open-minded dialogue during these times of change. Welcome to GHOST - a multidisciplinary month-long programme of events and exhibition at Guest Projects, Yinka Shonibare’s London residency space.

Funded by Arts Council England and other supporters from across Europe and Morocco, GHOST will exhibit nine commissioned works of emerging artists from the UK, Morocco and France. A surrounding programme of performances, lectures, workshops and screenings invites audience and participants alike to reflect on what it means to be a guest or a host at a time when notions of otherness are being challenged and the global community faces issues around ‘home.’
