In episode 29 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews THREE brilliant guests: African Art specialist, Helene Love-Allotey, art historian and curator-in-training Chloe Austin, and creator of\xa0@arthistorytalks, Emi Eleode.\xa0\n\nLast\xa0week, six exciting young names in art celebrating Black culture took over\xa0@thegreatwomenartists Instagram account.\xa0To honour this takeover, this episode, as well as last week's, feature interviews with all six women about their practice and work.\xa0\n\nAnd WOW. Were these women were absolutely incredible to speak with.\n\nFirst up we have Helene Love-Allotey who speaks in depth about her love for the great British artist, Lubaina Himid, and her experience visiting Himid's very moving and important exhibition "Meticulous Observations and Naming the Money". Housed at Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, this show highlighted how Europe\u2019s wealthy classes spent their money in the 19th century\xa0by using enslaved African men and women, which Himid awkwardly and unapologetically portrays in vibrant cut-out sculptures placed amongst the white and male-dominated permanent collection.\nSee more:\xa0\nhttps://www.artscouncilcollection.org.uk/exhibition/lubaina-himid-meticulous-observations-and-naming-money\n@helenaloveallotey\n\nNext up is the great Chloe Austin, a curator-in-training at London's Barbican Centre, and Institute of the International Visual Arts (Iniva), a\xa0radical visual arts organisation dedicated to developing an artistic programme that reflects on the social and political impact of globalisation, in which we speak at length about. We also discuss the institutions' position and reaction to this movement, as well as the three brilliant artists\xa0Deborah Findlater,\xa0Rosa-Johan Uddoh, and Elsa James.\xa0\nSee more:\nhttps://iniva.org/\nhttps://iniva.org/programme/projects/chatting-in-the-stacks/\nhttps://chloesinternalmonologue.wordpress.com/2020/06/06/black-boxes/\n@chloejaaay\xa0\n\nAnd we end with the wonderful Emi Eleode, founder of the Instagram\xa0@arthistorytalks, a page that spotlights 4\u20135 artists from a non-Western country each month.
