ARTISTS IN CONVERSATION: OCEANIC PASTS AND CURRENTS
ARTISTS IN CONVERSATION: OCEANIC PASTS AND CURRENTS
Artists in Conversation
Saturday, June 25, 2022, 4:00 pm
In conjunction with A Thousand Secrets
During this 90-minute session, artists Beatrice Glow and Deborah Jack will reflect upon their creative process and inspirations, the role of oceanic thought and histories within their work, and how legacies of colonialism continue to shape our present reality. Facilitated by the curator of A Thousand Secrets, Mae A. Miller, they will explore the radical possibilities of learning across oceans, genres, and storytelling traditions.
Beatrice Glow is an interdisciplinary and multisensory artist working in service of public history and just futures. Through diasporic and decolonial lens, she interrogates the visual languages of luxury and power derived through the exploitation of botanical life. Her solo exhibitions include Once the Smoke Clears, Baltimore Museum of Art, 2022, Forts and Flowers, Taipei Contemporary Art Center, Taiwan, 2019, and Aromérica Parfumeur, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Chile, 2016. Her work has been supported by Yale-NUS College, Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University, and the Fulbright Scholar Program.
Deborah Jack is a St. Maarten and Jersey City based multi-disciplinary artist who works in video/sound installation, photography, painting and text. Her work engages a variety of strategies for mining the intersections of histories, cultural memory, ecology, and climate change, while negotiating a global present. She has exhibited at Perez Art Museum of Miami, Museum of Latin American Art in Los Angeles, SITE Santa Fe, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, with reviews in Hyperallergic, Frieze, Artsy and the New York Times. In Fall 2021 Deborah Jack: 20 Years was presented at Pen + Brush in New York City.

About this event
BEATRICE GLOW is an artist-researcher leveraging interactive multimedia installations and multi-sensory experiences in service of public history and just futures. Her diverse practice includes sculptural installations, olfactory art, emerging media, and multi-lingual publishing. Working through anti-colonial and diasporic lens, Glow often co-labors with scholars and community stakeholders to assemble surviving fragments and question dominant narratives. Her ongoing research into the social histories of plants sketches vignettes about the entangled realities of dispossession, enslavement, migrations and extractive economies.
Her solo exhibitions include Forts and Flowers, Taipei Contemporary Art Center, Taiwan, 2019 and Aromérica Parfumeur, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Chile, 2016. She also was a participating artist in the Inaugural Honolulu Biennial, 2017.

An Archipelagic AIR: Episode 3, Yale-NUS College Artist-in-Residence Podcast
“Going along this continued conversation that we have been having about archipelagic thinking, it dovetails well with diasporic thinking, relational thinking, empathetic thinking and that really helped me look at the map of Austronesia in a different layered way.”

Banda 1621-2021 International Roundtable Series →
The year 1621 marks a turning point in the colonial conquest of the Banda Islands in Indonesia, which accomplished a principal aim of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to establish a monopoly on the valuable spice trade in nutmeg and mace. On May 8th, it will be exactly 400 years ago that Jan Pieterszoon Coen ordered the execution of prominent Bandanese and subsequent raids which led to the depopulation of the archipelago. Subsequently, the VOC brought in enslaved people from various parts of Asia and East-Africa, including a small part of the previously expelled Bandanese. The Banda Islands served as a precedent for later Atlantic conquests of the Dutch West India Company (WIC), founded in the same year.
Aims of the International Roundtable Series:
To approach the historical events on the Banda Islands from various interdisciplinary academic, artistic, and international angles.
To make connections across national borders and disciplinary fields.
To address the violent actions in 1621 and assess the designation genocide.
To foster scholarly and artistic conversations in dialogue with the general public.

A Tale of Two Islands: Welcome Event for Artist-in-Residence Beatrice Glow to the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University →
A/P/A Institute at NYU Artist-in-Residence Beatrice Glow begins her residency with the act of planting a native tree, and the presentation of a new lecture-performance. Glow’s work uncovers invisible, suppressed stories that lie in the geopolitical shadows of colonialism and migration.
ASIAN/PACIFIC/AMERICAN INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES BEATRICE GLOW AS 2016-17 ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
July 15, 2016

Interdisciplinary artist Beatrice Glow will be the Artist-in-Residence at NYU’s Asian/Pacific/American Institute for the 2016-2017 academic year—an appointment that includes public events on Sept. 27 and Dec. 8.
Glow’s work uncovers invisible, suppressed stories that lie in the geopolitical shadows of colonialism and migration. Her practice includes sculptural installations, trilingual publishing, participatory performances and lectures, and experiential technologies.
During her residency, Glow will research the social history of plants via spice routes and botanical expeditions focusing on the historical and contemporary relationship between the islands of Rhun (in pres¬ent-day Indonesia) and Manaháhtaan (Manhattan) to create Rhunhattan, a multiplatform project which will include psychogeographic and immersive tech experiences.
Glow, an NYU alumna, was the recipient of the 2015 Van Lier Visual Art Fellowship at Wave Hill and was named a 2015 Joan Mitchell Foundation Emerging Artist Finalist. In 2014, she was awarded a Franklin Furnace Fund grant to create the Floating Library—a pop-up, mobile device-free public space aboard the historic Lilac Museum Steamship on the Hudson River. Glow is a Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics’ Council Member and previously was Artist-in-Residence at the LES Studio Program at Artists Alliance Inc. Her most recent activities include Aromérica Parfumeur, a solo exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Chile (2016); The Wayfinding Project at the A/P/A Institute at NYU (2016); Rhunhattan at Wave Hill (2015); and a lecture performance as part of Asia Contemporary Art Week’s Field Meeting Take 2 at the Venice Biennale (2015). She holds a BFA in Studio Art from NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
