Natasha Ginwala Explores Sonic Dimensions of Riots in ArtReview Podcast
Curator Natasha Ginwala has spent five years examining riots, uprisings, and pogroms through artistic research. Her work includes editing the book 'Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound' with Gal Kirn and Niloufar Tajeri, alongside curating an exhibition on the subject.
