KOW, the gallery that I co-founded and whose programme I have primarily curated, is a private enterprise. But it is also a space for creating public moments and visibility. Since 2009, alongside our exhibitions, we have hosted numerous public events with diverse audiences: discussions, conferences, concerts, performances, readings, and book releases. Each exhibition opening is also a public event and sometimes a celebration. In fact, a gallery like KOW serves as a nexus between private and public interests, discourses, and economies, both in terms of its claims and functions.
