Excerpt:
You’re widely recognized for championing women and queer artists. What sparked that focus for you, and how has it evolved over time?
The reason why I champion women artists is to explore my own subjectivity as a woman in this world and to redress the gender imbalance in the art world. Over time, I have embraced the fluidity of gender across the spectrum and resisted ingrained gender binaries that disenfranchise women and queer people. What I’m most interested in achieving across all my activities – whether it be curating, collecting or patronage – is the representation and support of artists who have been marginalised by the patriarchal canon. At the end of the day, I want to platform and invest in excellence, and excellence has no gender, race or class.
