Newlyn Appoints Future Curator

Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange have appointed their new DASH Future Curator!

We join them in welcoming Ashanti Hare, a multidisciplinary artist, researcher and producer based in the South West.

The Gallery Team are thrilled that Ashanti will join them early next year for a 12-month post, as part of the Future Curators Programme, founded by DASH.

As part of NewlynArt Gallery & The Exchange's commitment to driving change, they have partnered with DASH to deliver The Future Curators Programme – a residency for disabled curators within visual arts institutions.

Both Newlyn, DASH and the FCP network are all looking forward to welcoming Ashanti to the team, to their gallery spaces, and to see what they will bring to the programme.


More about Ashanti Hare:

Ashanti graduated from Arts University Plymouth in 2022 and went on to win the CVAN Platform Graduate Award and AUP X KARST Graduate Residency in the same year, as well as the 2023 Southcombe International Women’s Day Residency.

Hare’s practice explores British and Global Majority folklore, the occult and Magick with a focus on decolonising Western history through archival research, craftsmanship and community engagement.
