Cairo Clarke is a curator and writer whose work is informed by slowness. It centers forms of knowledge production and dissemination that slip between the cracks, are formed on unstable ground and take on multiple temporalities; supporting strands of theorising taking place in autonomous spaces and holding space for the mess.

Cairo has worked closely with artists to develop and share instances of work across film, performance, printed matter and exhibition. Most recently Cairo produced and edited the book project this broken piece of yard published by LUX. Other recent invitations include Project Arts Centre Dublin, Pompeii Commitment: Archeological Matters, Iniva’s Archipelagos in Reverse Research Network, Jerwood Arts. Cairo was the 2020/21 Curatorial Fellow at LUX. In 2019 she launched SITE, a publication and curatorial project exploring alternative encounters with artist practice and the dissemination of research.

The Response Series generates collaborations between experts, researchers, and artists not only across disciplines but also across methodologies and approaches to research and practice, with a view to creating new experiences and forms of knowledge.
