Aliya Prichard-Casey is a freelance transdisciplinary curator-researcher. She holds an MLitt in Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) from The Glasgow School of Art and a Bachelor’s in History of Art, awarded by The Courtauld Institute Of Art.
Her practice is grounded in place-based research, focusing on the reciprocity between contemporary art and context. Her interest in interconnection and the encounter spurs her collaborative practice, and her art historical background, Masters in contemporary curation, and personal passion has equipped her with the requisite sills required to action her ambitious, site-specific, collaborative endeavours.
Her interest in exploring the relationship we have with materials and places through moments of encounter spurred a place in my heart (2024), a collaborative exhibition with Glasgow-based artist Lilian Evans. Giving curatorial form to previous place-based or place-centred research, this project provided both a culmination, and a beginning of, her curatorial methodology of the encounter, foregrounding the subjectivity of experience and perspective. She continues to realise exhibitions with her next exhibition, I Dare You To Love Me, currently in production.
