Meet FACT’s Resident Curators
During her residency, Ivy has collaborated closely with our Exhibitions and Studio/Lab teams. She has focused on researching and digitising FACT’s exhibitions archive, facilitating workshops with artists, installing solo exhibitions by R.I.P. Germain and Sara Sadik, and supporting the development of Art Plays Games, an exhibition that questions how game worlds might offer us new ways of thinking about whose stories are told and how they are represented.

A Solo Show at Pipeline Contemporary, London
5th June - 6th JulyRooted in the intricacies of grief, Between Two Places speaks of both personal and collective trauma. Spurred by the recent loss of a close family member, Kalungi explores what remains for those significant to us after passing and endeavours to understand how the wider black community copes with the reverberations of loss and trauma. Included in this exhibition are installation and sculpture which represent tangible residues of life left behind. On one wall hangs an installation of dry raffia leaves, a material that roots back to Ugandan culture. Kalungi’s intention is to create an immersive space for reflection, inviting viewers to touch the fibres and listen to the sound of the leaves.

In October 2022, GRAFT worked with young people at Lancaster Youth Challenge to consider Lancaster’s historic connections to the transatlantic slave trade. We ran 4 workshops in collaboration with Lancaster Maritime Museum and Lancaster Black History Group.
The result is “Voices”, an exhibition of 3 Black artists from across the UK. Exhibiting artists - Wesley George, Ivy Kalungi and Akinsola Lawanson - were selected by the young curators. Their works are installed alongside the collection at the Maritime Museum, celebrating diverse young talent as well as highlighting Lancaster’s role in the slave trade.

The Old Bank #2
October-2022 saw Shuffle's second exhibition at the former Natwest bank, this time bringing together a smaller selection of artists, some exhibiting multiple artworks. Visitors enjoyed DJ sets from Earth Ltd Radio and food from Pizza Cake, which set up a stall in The Bank’s outside space. By this point, many visitors from outside of Liverpool’s art scene were coming to experience the vibe, discover new art and take a look inside the forgotten building.
