GHOSTS OF EMPIRES II: An Interview

Shaquille Heath interviews Larry Ossei-Mensah for Juxtapoz
While contemporary events can often feel uniquely monumental, it is wise to remember the old adage “history is cyclical.” This is the foundation that tethers together the works in Ghosts of Empires II at Ben Brown Fine Arts in London. Curated by the esteemed Larry Ossei-Mensah, the exhibition seeks to explore how 13 artists from the African and Asian diasporas are using their artistic practices as a platform to engage with the legacies of slavery, migration, and colonialism. Uncovering how history converges is a multi-layered process. Ossei-Mensah took the time to share a bit of his curatorial exhumations. — Shaquille Heath
