Women of art in action – The inclusion of Indigenous art in European cultural institutions today

On the last day of our exhibition ARTIST ACTIVIST ARCHIVIST, BERNHARD LÜTHI INVITES, we’re hosting a round-table discussion with Daria de Beauvais, Fanny Wonu Veys and Fondation Opale founder and chair Bérengère Primat, who will be talking about the growing visibility of Indigenous artists in contemporary art circuits. In particular, they will address the issues of reception by European audiences, the curatorial, political and cultural mediation issues that this raises, and the effects of this visibility in First Nation communities themselves.

Daria de Beauvais is an art historian, curator, author and teacher. Senior curator at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), she has organised a number of projects there that include contemporary Aboriginal art, notably Jonathan Jones’s solo exhibition “Untitled (Original Territory)” (2021) and the group exhibition “Reclaiming the Earth” (2022).

Fanny Wonu Veys is curator for Oceania at the Wereldmuseum, a Dutch umbrella organisation with sites in Amsterdam, Leiden and Rotterdam. She has curated several exhibitions there and co-curated exhibitions in Cahors and Venice.
