“Reprendre”? | Centre Pompidou, Paris

The question of the restitution of patrimonial objects is currently hotly debated in a world which is a return to the European colonial past and which questions the origin of extra-European objects torn from their original context, as well as their exposure patterns in the West. Director Susan Vogel , an expert on African art, recounts the fast-paced and tragically burlesque journey of a Fang statuette through the 20th century, since its delivery to the West. In his film The Visitor (2007), the Swiss artistUriel Orlow goes to meet Oba Erediauwa, then king of Benin, to question him on the need to repatriate or not the famous bronzes of Benin preserved in the British Museum. Finally, the Senegalese videographerFatou Kandé Senghor films a Casamance artist-ceramist, Seni Camara, whose ancestral know-how is threatened with extinction.These different films help to question the fate and transmission of confiscated objects, all too often dedicated to museification alone. 

Uriel Orlow’s film The Visitor is screened alongside Fatou Kande Senghor’s work Giving Birth, and Susan Vogel’s film, Fang: An Epic Journey, followed by an in-conversation with curator Alicia Knock

Small Wonders: Reimagining British Art | Williamson Art Gallery & Museum, London

In 1951, the Festival of Britain acted as a beacon of post-war hope, launching a landmark touring exhibition that brought world-class art to local museums and art centres across the UK. Seventy-five years later, Hayward Gallery Touring honours this legacy with Small Wonders: Reimagining British Art, a contemporary reimagining of that original vision.

The exhibition brings together 50 acclaimed artists who have participated in the British Art Show – the UK’s definitive five-year curated survey of contemporary art – since its inception in 1979. Taking inspiration from Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise – a “portable museum” contained within a suitcase – each artist has created a new, small-scale work that responds to their original British Art Show presentation. The result is a condensed yet expansive overview of a half-century of British art history.

With works by Abake, Tomma Abts, Caroline Achaintre, Simeon Barclay, Zarina Bhimji, Kathrin Böhm, Frank Bowling, Pablo Bronstein, Andrea Büttner, Varda Caivano, Ergin Çavuşoğlu, Michael Craig-Martin, Nicholas Deshayes, Mandy El-Sayegh, Doug Fishbone, Martino Gamper, and many others.

SIBYLLA | Art Basel, Switzerland

SIBYLLA unfolds as an exhibition, curated by Sónia Taborda and Joerg Bader, that evokes the Latin name as a way of thinking about human connection beyond time.

A performance by Uriel Orlow unfolds in parallel with his presentation at the Giardini of La Biennale di Venezia, extending its conceptual and sensory inquiry into the context of Basel.

Developed in collaboration with Maria João Pires and Martin Masan, music curators of the project, the work takes place in the garden, where musicians perform with and for plants, activating a subtle dialogue between human and more-than-human forms of listening.

Mangoes & Meaning | Museum of Goa, India

Uriel Orlow is presenting Mangoes of Goan Origin (An Archive) as part of the group show Mangoes and Meaning: Histories, Ecologies and Cultural Imagination at Museum of Goa.

Expect to encounter the mango in ways you may not have before. After all, this isn’t just any fruit-it’s aam, the common thread that connects us all. This exhibition brings together personal, cultural, ecological, and communal perspectives, reflecting on what it means to grow a mango, to sit in the shade of its tree, to share it with neighbours, and to spend long summers in its presence. The exhibition explores how this fruit becomes a symbol of place, of season, and of belonging.
