Temi Odumosu
I am an art historian with a collaborative curatorial practice. My research and curating are concerned with colonial archives/archiving, slavery and visuality, ethics of care-in-representation, postmemorial art and performance, and more broadly exploring how art mediates social transformation and healing.
I currently work as a senior lecturer in cultural studies at Malmö University in Sweden, where I teach various subjects, including visual communication, photographic theory, museum and heritage theory, creative industries, collaborative media and cultural production.

Papers by Temi Odumosu
Yet others perceive Britain’s multiculturalism as a positive mechanism for social change and as the vital element needed for the development of shared national values that are informed by diversity rather than inhibited by it."
ABSTRACT:
"...Art and Emancipation is an impressive feat of academic research and critical inquiry into areas of English, Jewish and Afro-Jamaican heritage, almost unheard of in mainstream narratives on the history of slavery and the Atlantic world. Forrester writes of Belisario's colonial identity, moving 'in and between Jewish and gentile, religious and secular, and artistic and mercantile worlds', that it can be seen as 'a powerful metaphor for the diaspora itself'. Hence Stuart Hall adds that Belisario 'looked from more than one place, and that look was mediated through several frames'...."
