Join us at the gallery on Wednesday 19 November for artist Rember Yahuarcani in conversation with curator and writer Tamsin Hong. The event marks Rember Yahuarcani's solo exhibition, Here Lives the Origin, at Josh Lilley- the artist's first in the UK.
Rember Yahuarcani (b. 1985, Peru) is an artist, curator and activist who belongs to the Aimenɨ (White Heron) clan of the Uitoto Nation of northern Amazonia in Peru. His practice considers the interconnectivity between man, beast, landscape and spirit within Uitoto mythology, exploring and preserving Indigenous traditions, knowledge and spirituality. Yahuarcani’s paintings are gestures of resistance, occupying both a ceremonial and political space.
Tamsin Hong is a contemporary international art curator. Hong’s research interests include women’s knowledge systems, embodied practices and re-indigenising approaches. Born on unceded Ngunnawal Country on the land now known as Australia, Hong is Exhibitions Curator at Serpentine, London. Her projects include Arpita Singh: Remembering (2025), Yinka Shonibare CBE: Suspended States (2024) and Georg Baselitz: Sculptures 2011-2015 (2023).
