Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://mothertonguecurating.com/about:
"Mother Tongue is a research-led, independent curatorial practice working locally and internationally, formed in 2009 by Tiffany Boyle and Jessica Carden. We have since then collaboratively produced exhibitions, film programmes, discursive events, essays and publications, working with galleries, museums, archives, and festivals. We have undertaken residencies in Scotland, Sweden, Finland and Barbados, and participated on the 2011/12 CuratorLab programme at Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm. Mother Tongue’s projects are frequently accompanied by writing, from ourselves and writer’s commissions, both critical and creative texts. These have been published in English and Gaelic, and translation has played a prominent role also – from Swedish and Portuguese - as examples into English. We have written for outlets including MAP magazine and Africa is a Country, and published with Palgrave Macmillan."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maud_Sulter:
Maud Sulter (19 September 1960 – 27 February 2008) was a Scottish contemporary fine artist, photographer, writer, educator, feminist, cultural historian, and curator of Ghanaian heritage. She began her career as a writer and poet, becoming a visual artist not long afterwards. By the end of 1985 she had shown her artwork in three exhibitions and her first collection of poetry had been published. Sulter was known for her collaborations with other Black feminist scholars and activists, capturing the lives of Black people in Europe. She was a champion of the African-American sculptor Edmonia Lewis, and was fascinated by the Haitian-born French performer Jeanne Duval [continues].
