Minor Tides

Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.

Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.

Opening: Wednesday 1 July, 18:00

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.
