In this illustrated talk the artist Gil Mualem-Doron (PhD) will present a range of projects that include those led him to escape police arrest, others he received death threats and other works (sometimes even the same ones) for which he gained prime spots in well-respected galleries such as Tate Modern, Turner Contemporary and Southbank Centre. These include the distribution of Molotov cocktails on Tel Aviv’s high street; a project that proposed replacing the Union Jack (before or after the break up of the Union); a series of anti-racist processions orchestrated in the aftermath of Brexit and a beautiful set of jewellery that on closer inspection tells the story of atrocities in the Occupied West Bank in Palestine.
In the talk he will also present the Socially Engaged Art Salon (SEAS) which he founded in his living room in Brighton and which grew to be one of the most radical art spaces in the South East, working especially with artists from underrepresented groups and communities including BPOC, migrant, disabled and LGBTQIA+ artists.
The talk will include a short workshop in which the audience will create their own diversity flag to take back home. The workshop is based on a project that was delivered at Tate Exchange and many other galleries and museums in the past five years.
