Profile
Orsod's curatorial practice focuses on identifying cultural and political entanglements in archival materials to explore the possibility of shared histories. Orsod is particularly interested in the public pedagogical possibilities posited by anticolonial movements and their capacity to produce knowledge about contemporary societies, political struggles and transnational relations.
