About Alpesh Kantilal Patel

Alpesh Kantilal Patel’s (they/he) art historical scholarship, curation, and criticism reflect their queer, anti-racist, and transcultural approach to contemporary art. They are an associate professor of global contemporary art at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University. Recently, they were an artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts and curator at large at UrbanGlass, Brooklyn, where they organized a series of exhibitions under the theme, “Forever Becoming: Decolonization, Materiality, and Trans* Subjectivity.” Patel will talk about their current research and how these critical touchstones in queerness, anti-racism, and transculturalism has led into several publications and curatorial projects within the world of contemporary glass.
