Stealing from the West | The Academy of the Arts of the World, Cologne

Cultural appropriation has recently become the subject of heated debate. What was not long ago considered a purely aesthetic, vaguely postmodern, individualistic device of translation is suddenly revealed in its frightening political-economic dimension of exploitation and profit. This exhibition seeks to show another side of this story overshadowed by current discussions: the strategy of cultural counter-appropriation used by the underprivileged. The thieves, counterfeiters, and resistant appropriators in the exhibition show that “stealing from the West” is a potent tool of cultural resistance and an instrument of postcolonial retaliation.

Curated by Ekaterina Degot, David Riff, Aneta Rostkowska, including works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Yuri Albert, Kader Attia, Younes Baba-Ali, Ines Doujak, Tom Gould, Ramon Haze, Uriel Orlow, Gosha Rubchinskiy, and Ulay.

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.
