Curators G. Rolls Bentley & E-J Scott | Contemporary Art and Exhibitions and Heritage as Safe Space

What under-developped skills and perspectives can queer art and artists bring to the fore? Our host, Joana P. R. Neves, interviews queer curator Gemma Rolls Bentley and trans curator E J Scott about their exhibition Talisman with Cardion Arts. How did they grow up with art not seeing themselves represented in it? Is it possible to did find one’s way into representation through thematic approaches to contemporary art?

Artistic director of Drawing Now Paris since 2018, she has worked across the industry, from the art market to education. She co-launched the art residency and project space Worlding in 2020. Exhibitionistas’ first year offered exhibition discussions with guest co-host Emily Harding; organically, it grew into a more experimental show exploring art topics, stories and interviews complemented by Joana’s publication Art Thinkosaurus on Substack. She champions ‘Art Wonderment’s’ embrace of complexity against the lure of ready-made opinions. A polyglot, she grew up in Lisbon, studied and lived in Paris, to finally settle in London with her artist husband, four children and two cats.
