Portals with Purpose: Gisela McDaniel and Larry Ossei-Mensah 

Ahead of the launch of 'OVR Portals', one of its curators, Larry Ossei-Mensah, was joined by artist Gisela McDaniel for this Art Basel and FT Weekend conversation.
The work of Detroit-based artist McDaniel disrupts and responds to historical narratives and contemporary patterns of female silence. Her portraits, interweaving oil portraiture and audio recordings, give a voice to indigenous, queer, and minoritized women and non-binary people, who are healing from forms of trauma.
This panel, moderated by Jan Dalley, arts editor of the Financial Times, discusses McDaniel's practice, and how it relates to the broader themes of 'OVR: Portals'.
Broadcast live on Monday, 14 June, 2021.
