Soufiane Ababri's work took us to The Curve, a difficult space at the Barbican that Ababri worked to his advantage and to the delight of these two exhibitionistas. The artist's work explores notions of diaspora, immigration, colonial trauma, post-colonial issues, queerness and much more. But most of all it is a delightful installation of magnificent drawings for their skilled unskillfulness and their recording of queer love, tenderness, sex and life. The exhibition is called "Their mouths were full of bumblebees but it was me who was pollinated", and it was a commission specifically for the, well, curved space of The Curve.  For more information:  https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/event/soufiane-ababri Follow Soufiane Ababri on Instagram:  @soufianeababri Follow us: exhibitionistas_podcast Music by: Sarturn

Art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves guides you through the vibrant, sometimes intimidating, world of galleries and installations in Exhibitionistas │Visual Arts From All Angles. This isn't a dry lecture series; instead, it feels like having a knowledgeable friend who can decode the stories behind the canvas and the choices within a gallery space. Each episode is built on the idea that a meaningful art experience is for everyone, whether you're a seasoned collector or someone who simply feels curious during a museum visit. You'll be pulled into immersive audio travelogues that transport you to specific exhibitions, overhear genuine discussions with fellow spectators about what moved or puzzled them, and get straight answers from artists and curators in candid conversations. Joana playfully untangles both contemporary themes and enduring artistic questions, making connections that feel personal and relevant. The whole point of this podcast is to demystify the visual arts, replacing uncertainty with a sense of informed confidence. It provides the context and diverse perspectives that allow you to develop your own critical eye, ultimately putting you in charge of how you see and interpret art. Tune in for a thoughtful, engaging mix of analysis and anecdote that deepens your appreciation for what's on display.
