Exhibitionistas: Notes on Contemporary Art and Life

Colour in Art | Can the Politics of Colour Surpass its Subjective Stigma?

1 tim 13 min23 januari 2026

How do you overcome the extreme subjectivity of colour as a topic in art? María Castro Jímenez, pigment specialist and art historian, offers surprising new histories of colour. Can the study of colour reveal hidden pplitics of the past, present and perhaps the future of art? How do we go beyond the usual art explorations of perception? Or do they still have something to teach us? Why is colour taught conceptually and not as something you make?

Created & Hosted by Dr. Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer with over 20 years of experience in the contemporary art field. Artistic director of Drawing Now Paris since 2018, she has worked across the industry, from the art market to education. She co-launched the art residency and project space Worldingin 2020. Exhibitionistas’ first year offered exhibition discussions with guest co-host Emily Harding; organically, it grew into a more experimental show exploring art topics, stories and interviews complemented by Joana’s publication Art Thinkosaurus on Substack. She champions ‘Art Wonderment’s’ embrace of complexity against the lure of ready-made opinions. A polyglot, she grew up in Lisbon, studied and lived in Paris, to finally settle in London with her artist husband, four children and two cats.
