The conference approaches the main issues and questions regarding the production of knowledge in the arts and in curatorial practices. From a critical perspective, Boaventure Ndikung and Paul Goodwin will discuss the tensions and conflicts between South and North dichotomies, geographical divisions and assimilations, and the urgent need to decolonize the process of curating and producing an art exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n
