WIELS is looking for a Virtual Reality Exhibition Mediator (m/f/x) for an upcoming solo exhibition Night in the Garden of Love (May 16th – Aug 13th 2023) by Shezad Dawood (student job)

In this new project, Shezad Dawood (b. 1974, UK) investigates the poetic possibilities of the garden as a space of creation and optimism in the face of climate crisis. Drawing inspirations from the writings, music and philosophy of Yusef Lateef (1920-2013) – an African American jazz musician and innovator, Dawood explores the regenerative potential of music, art and technology. Central to the exhibition is a virtual reality artwork which invites the public to engage with Dawood’s reflections on technology, collectivity and ecology.
