Bernice Lin participated a curatorial fellowship through Taiwan’s Youth Overseas Dream-Fulfilling Program , organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education in collaboration with the National Museums of World Culture in Sweden, featuring a four-week research residency across its two major Stockholm sites: the Museum of Ethnography and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities .

Dates: 11 October – 5 December 2025

Research Highlights:
🔍 Material Trajectories: Re-identifying East Asian Prehistoric Jade
Conducted in-depth research on the ‘hook-shaped jade’ within the collection of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities. Through material analysis and comparative studies of Hongshan Culture characteristics, provided evidence to evaluate the object’s provenance.

🗺️ Decolonial Mapping: Tracing Indigenous Heritage
Focusing on ethnographic objects previously loaned to Taiwan, Bernice utilized mapping and archival literature from the Japanese colonial period to trace the origins of artifacts historically labeled as ‘Tsalisen’. This work facilitates reconnecting museum collections with contemporary source communities and enables a more precise identification of tribal affiliations.

🏛️ Institutional Critique: Observing Systemic Shifts in Swedish Museums Through site visits and professional interviews, Bernice analyzed the current landscape of the Swedish national museum system—specifically institutional consolidation, storage management, and the strategic shift toward ‘digitization’ and ‘child-oriented education’.

Bio:
Shu Yu (Bernice) Lin is a Taiwanese curator based in London. She holds an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths, University of London (2024) and a BA in East Asian Studies from National Taiwan Normal University (2019). Her curatorial practice spans exhibition-making, public programming, and cultural research, extending to research interests in East Asian culture, migration, and environmental psychology. She has co-curated Uncanny Playgrounds at Sugarhouse Gallery (London) with Hypha Studios (2024) and Drifting Tethers: Breathing Spaces with A Particular Reality (2023).

_To call you a forest_ is a film screening happening on the *14th of May* at *7pm at Coldharbour Blue Cinema* (SE24 0HN), curated by alumni collective, soft shock.

The programme brings together ten short artist films exploring our entanglements with forest ecologies, histories of extraction, myth, kinship, and deep time. Moving across documentary, lyrical, and experimental forms, the works consider forests as living communities and ancestral witnesses, and reflect on how we position ourselves within wider ecological systems.

We’ll be joined by the filmmakers for a Q&A after the screening, and there will be time to stay for a drink and conversation afterwards.
Doors open at 7:00pm
Screening begins at 7:30pm (running until approx. 9:15pm, with a short interval)
Bar and space open until 10:00pm
Tickets are tiered with concession options available, and profits will go to Earth Tenders, a Black-led South London organisation supporting long-term community health and local food systems.

Goldsmiths MFA Curating at the 61st Venice Biennale Arte 🌊

As Venice fills once again with artists, curators, filmmakers, writers and organisers from across the world, we wanted to celebrate some of the many people connected to the Goldsmiths MFA Curating programme whose work, collaborations and conversations are unfolding across the city this year.

From national pavilions and exhibitions to screenings, performances, talks, publications and informal encounters across late-night tables, Goldsmiths alumni, tutors, students and collaborators continue to shape contemporary art ecologies internationally in exciting and generous ways.

If you’re in Venice in the following weeks, keep an eye out for familiar faces, ongoing projects, chance meetings and the wider communities orbiting around the programme.

A few people and projects to look out for include:

— Nina Wakeford, Head of Research Dept & Curator of the Swiss Pavilion, ‘The Unfinished Business of Living Together’

— , Alumni & Curator of the Austrian Pavilion, ‘SEAWORLD’

— , Alumni & Curator of the Catalonia Pavilion, ‘Paper Tears’

— , Lecturer & Writer for Pauline Oliveros’s work

We’ve also been spotting some familiar faces around Venice this week, including (Alumni), (Alum), (Alum), (Lecturer), (Student), (Student) & (Alum) Alongside exhibiting artists and curators, it’s been lovely to also see members of the wider Goldsmiths community supporting projects across the Biennale including supporting Sammy Baoji’s work, supporting the Lithuanian Pavilion & supporting Forma Arts & Media at the Scottish Pavilion.

(please tag us in anything we’ve missed!)

Congratulations to everyone involved this year 💙

Apophenia - Leah Clements
Until 2 May 2026
Peer, Hoxton

In its final days not to be missed.

Apophenia is a new co-commission and the first major UK solo exhibition by London-based artist Leah Clements, produced in collaboration with , Sheffield. Working across moving image, photography and sculpture, Clements explores experiences of illness, disability, and altered states of perception giving form to what is often difficult to articulate.

At the centre is a new 23-minute single-channel film, following a protagonist moving through sites historically linked to healing from Roman baths to contemporary spas tracing how meaning is made through bodily and psychological experience. Sculptural and audio works extend this, creating a space attentive to access, interdependence, and care.

Text adapted from Peer Gallery

We’re especially excited to share that Goldsmiths MFA Curating student has been working closely on the exhibition during her placement with , including on the newly commissioned moving image work.

(b.1996, Paris, France) has been working in the field of contemporary art since 2019, developing a practice across both independent and institutional contexts. Her work engages exhibition-making, commissioning, production and fundraising, alongside research, writing and editing.
With roles at Manifesta biennal, Parliament Gallery, and currently at the Lyon Biennale, she has realised projects in France, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Kosovo. She graduated from EHESS (Master’s in Arts and Languages), Goldsmiths (MFA in Curating), and Sorbonne University (Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, Sociology, and Law).

As an independent curator, her research revolves around the capacity of artists to open breaches between parallel and alternative worlds, times, and spaces, beyond dominant narratives and linear approaches to history. Her curated exhibitions include works by artists such as Marguerite Humeau, Tarek Lakhrissi, Amalia Laurent, and Jordan/Martin Hell.

Recently, Year 2 MFA Curating students organised the final workshop of the academic year, ‘PAST PRESENT FUTURES: Curating in the Post-Industrial Site.’

Devised by , , , .444_goose , Mei Chen, , and , and convened by , the workshop offered curators the knowledge to understand the post-industrial site, alongside a space to contemplate best practices for working within these sociopolitical environments.

We are living in a state of detritus. Across existing infrastructures and emerging developments, the ghosts of defunct labour and social histories persist. Taking this as a point of departure, the workshop explored how curatorial practice might respond to these layered histories while imagining new cultural futures.

Over three days, participants engaged with case studies, guest speakers, site visits, and walking tours designed to equip curators with critical tools to research, interpret, and activate post-industrial spaces. Through collective discussion and on-site observation, the programme considered how curating can operate within the entanglements of labour, industry, community, and redevelopment.
A talk with expanded on ideas from Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, foregrounding infrastructure as a spatial and political medium. This was brought into dialogue with Is a Museum a Factory?, alongside works by and
Sessions with and reflected on how post-industrial spaces are transformed into cultural infrastructure through collective labour and long-term adaptation.
Site visits to and grounded these discussions in specific spatial contexts.

Thank you to all contributors, speakers, and hosts for a generous and rigorous programme of shared thinking.

We Delighted invite you all to the Exhibition , opened nextThursday.

Curated by student from MFA Curating Goldsmiths Year two student Isaac Ji .444_goose .

This exhibition is supported by SQFT:Space Gallery .space .

This exhibition re-imagines the gallery space as a “darkroom of perception.”

The exhibition hall is no longer a simple physical path, but a process of development. By focusing on the physical traces that exist prior to the formation of an image, viewers may realize that the daily objects we take for granted are, in fact, filled with undetected evidence.

These details, serving as indexical traces, construct a new reality—a narrative possibility centered on “occurrence” rather than “result.”

By focusing on the material textures of the works, the exhibition seeks to rediscover these details overlooked in daily life: they are the resistant brushstrokes behind Yujin’s satellite images, the physiological tremors of Xuran’s body before ‘anxiety’ is named, and the forgotten material friction beneath the urban order sought by Hyunju.

We invite everyone to walk through this process of development, and within the confrontation of memory and emotion, to re-confirm the existence of what is “real.” 🪞
