“How to Reverse a Spell is the second iteration of the project entitled Venus in III Acts, inspired by Saidiya Hartman’s 1998 essay, addressing how contemporary artists explore, expand, challenge and disrupt the objectivity and subjectivity of the archive and the legacies that make up their existences.
