Hybrid Humans with Harry Parker

Johanna is Senior Curator of Anthropology at the Horniman Museum and Gardens, and Lecturer in Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her research focuses on the different ways in which nations, institutions and individuals navigate ethical borderlands surrounding the ways in which colonialism is both remembered and structurally embedded in the present. Her most recent work explores archives and collections relating to the end of the British Empire in Africa, including the relationships between science, technology and the imagining of decolonial futures. She is fascinated by the colonial history and inheritance of milk, and the impact of this on global dairy consumption in the present.

Milk and Whiteness

Sam’s work tries to capture what an unpredictable body is and how a disabled body’s very presence transgresses societal restrictions. Working with movement, as a disabled performer who has Tourette’s and is neurodivergent, short performances are an intrinsic part of their visual art, which are then made ‘solid’, poeticising the fleeting interruptions of the disabled body by making lasting documentations through drawing as-stimming, film, animation and sculptural installation (choreographic objects).
