🌊TAPE/TALK: ACTS OF ENGAGEMENT: EPISODE 3🌊⁠
⁠
Episode 3: Derya Akay and Tairone Bastien⁠
⁠
In the third and last episode, artist Derya Akay (@daisymozzy) is joined by curator Tairone Bastien as they come together to prepare a home-cooked Turkish meal (Sarımsaklı köft, börek and atom) and reflect the weaving together of personal memories and familial histories with larger cultural and geopolitical narratives that form “Queer Dowry”. ⁠
⁠
Tape/Talk: Acts of Engagement is the 2022 Toronto Biennial of Art Podcast series. This three episode edition revisits the Biennial, which ran from March 26 to June 5, through curator-led engagements. Featuring three Exhibition artists working across different venues and mediums, the series approaches reflection, listening, and learning through an engaging and experiential lens. While in discussion with artists, exhibited works, processes, research, and philosophies are explored. Woven within are diegetic sounds that encourage collective listening—sounds around making, doing, and being. The series provides an opportunity for a wide-rage of audience to access the Biennial content, artists, and curators. ⁠
