Interdisciplinary Practice with Tai Shani
Tai Shani is an artist living and working in London. She is the joint 2019 Turner Prize winner together with Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock and Oscar Murillo. She is currently a tutor in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art.
Tai's august sessions will explore multidisciplinary practice, inspired by her work comprising of performance, film, photography and installation, which revolves around experimental narrative texts. Tai creates violent, erotic and fantastical images told in a dense, floral language which re-imagines female otherness as a perfect totality, set in a world complete with cosmologies, myth and histories that negate patriarchal narratives. These alternate between familiar stylistic tropes and structures and theoretical prose in order to explore the construction of subjectivity, excess and the affects of the epic as the ground for a post-patriarchal realism.
