Ep.235 Alicia Knock Head curator for the Contemporary Creation and Prospective Department at Centre Pompidou. Alicia Knock seeks to develop a transnational history of art. Her acquisitions and exhibitions – Ernest Mancoba, 2019; Chine-Afrique, Crossing the World Color Line, 2020; Global(e) Resistance, 2020 – focus specifically on post-colonial practices (Modern and contemporary African art and Central European art). Concurrently, she is also exploring exhibition formats through dynamic projects that reflect on the future of museums (Museum On/Off, 2016). In 2023, she co-curated Kaunas Biennial, Survival Kit in Riga and Ljubljana graphic arts Biennial focusing on "Long-distance Friendships" and non aligned solidarities between Africa and Eastern Europe. She curated the Albanian Pavilion at the 58th Biennale, and co-curated an exhibition devoted to Boris Mikhailov at the Pinchuk Art Centre in Kyiv in 2019.
