collecting

The Foundation emerged from collectors Lekha Poddar and her son Anupam Poddar expanding their personal interests in art to facilitating wider public engagement with artistic practice and curatorial interventions.

Özge Ersoy is a curator and writer; Public Programmes Lead at Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong; and the Managing Editor at m-est.org. Her work interrogates sociopolitical milieus while thinking through the threads that exist between exhibition-making, text, archival practices and collecting. SOUTH SOUTH interviewed Ersoy to find out more about her practice and to get a peek at the list of publications that have been her companions over the past year.
