Art curation, for Talysha Bujold-Abu, is like being a supporting character in a story.
“I’m not stepping into curation asking what it is I can say about their work, but how can I best share their work with others,” she explains.
“What opportunities can I find with the way that work can sit together in a room, to propel the storytelling of the featured artist and also insert an aspect of myself into that narrative?”
