A conversation behind the exhibition

What does it take to shape an exhibition around lives that history has consistently placed in the background?

This IG Live session invites you into that process.

Meet the Curators is a live, open conversation where the curators unpack the thinking behind the exhibition: why these works, why this artist, and why these stories matter now. From the initial research to the final selection of works, they'll share how the exhibition came together and the questions that guided every decision.

You'll hear about:

• The central ideas shaping Not an Extra and how they connect to Portia Roy's practice

• How displacement, invisibility, and structural exclusion inform the curatorial vision

• The role of materials like plywood in building meaning

• The research and conversations that sit behind the works on view
