The Lilac House is a queer, feminist, and working-class curatorial counter-practice by Jazz Swali and Marta Marsicka.


The Lilac House is concerned with:

  • The precarisation and erasure of marginalised curators from the arts
  • The omission of curators from national and public discourse on creative capital
  • The mental health and well-being of marginalised curators
  • The need to imagine and construct curatorial futures for those on the margins
  • The value of solidarity and sustainability through collaborative practice



Through The Lilac House, we’re creating space for critical dialogue, research, resistance, and joy.
