Authors
Zsuzsanna Varga-Szegedi is an interdisciplinary artist with a research based practice looking at deColonial knowledge-production by working with and analyzing the limitations of traditional and digital technologies in visual representation. In her virtual, installation and conversation-based work she queries: what materials, mediums, and art historical methodologies can support multidimensional knowledge that doesn’t want to be confined in a colonial, imperialist, capitalist constructed space and time?
Emily Shoyer is a specialist in modern and contemporary art, with a focus on memory and trauma through a decolonial and psychoanalytic lens. She has published and spoken internationally on modernist postcolonial and global diasporic contemporary art and has held curatorial and research roles at Venus Over Manhattan, the Museum of Modern Art and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. She holds an MA in Modern & Contemporary Art History from the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU and a BA in Art History from Barnard College, Columbia University.
